About Megavolt-Ampere (MVA)
One megavolt-ampere equals 1,000,000 VA. Common in transformer and grid-scale apparent-power ratings.
About Metric Horsepower (PS/CV)
PS is metric horsepower (also called Pferdestarke), defined as 735.49875 W. It appears widely in EU and Korean vehicle specs.
How to convert megavolt-amperes (mva, unity pf) to metric horsepower (ps/cv)
1 megavolt-ampere (mva) is equal to 1359.62161730390449 metric horsepower (ps/cv) when both are expressed in watt-equivalents:
1 mva = (1,000,000 W ÷ 735.49875 W) ps = 1359.62161730390449 ps
Each megavolt-ampere (mva) is defined as 1,000,000 W and each metric horsepower (ps/cv) as 735.49875 W in this tool, so one mva equals 1,000,000 ÷ 735.49875 ps = 1359.62161730390449 ps.
Let d(mva) be the numeric value in Megavolt-Ampere (MVA) (mva), and d(ps) the value in Metric Horsepower (PS/CV) (ps). Then:
d(ps) = d(mva) × (1,000,000 / 735.49875)
Equivalently, divide by how many mva fit into one ps (watts per ps divided by watts per mva):
d(ps) = d(mva) ÷ 0.00073549875
Or: metric horsepower (ps/cv) = megavolt-ampere (mva) ÷ 0.00073549875
Examples
Example #1: Convert 1 mva to metric horsepower (ps/cv)
1 mva = 1 mva × (1,000,000/735.49875) ps = 1359.6216173 ps
1 mva = 1 mva ÷ 0.00073549875 = 1359.6216173 ps
Intermediate watts: 1,000,000 W
Example #2: Convert 10 mva to metric horsepower (ps/cv)
10 mva = 10 mva × (1,000,000/735.49875) ps = 13596.216173 ps
10 mva = 10 mva ÷ 0.00073549875 = 13596.216173 ps
Intermediate watts: 10,000,000 W
Summary
To convert Megavolt-Ampere (MVA) to Metric Horsepower (PS/CV), multiply the value in mva by the ratio of watts per mva divided by watts per ps. Equivalently: value_ps = value_mva × (1000000 / 735.49875). Numerically, 1 mva equals 1359.6216173039045 ps.
Relationship context
You are converting between apparent power at unity PF (VA) (Megavolt-Amperes (MVA, unity PF)) and mechanical power (horsepower, ft·lb/s) (Metric Horsepower (PS/CV)). All linear values are mapped through watts first. The numeric factor is 1.359622e+3.
