About Ton of Refrigeration (TR)
One ton of refrigeration (TR) equals 12,000 BTU/h (IT), approximately 3,516.85 W. It is widely used in HVAC and refrigeration sizing.
About Kilovolt-Ampere (kVA)
One kilovolt-ampere equals 1,000 VA. At unity power factor in this converter, kVA maps linearly to watts.
How to convert tons of refrigeration (tr) to kilovolt-amperes (kva, unity pf)
1 ton of refrigeration (tr) is equal to 3.51685284206667 kilovolt-ampere (kva) when both are expressed in watt-equivalents:
1 tr = (3,516.8528420666667 W ÷ 1,000 W) kva = 3.51685284206667 kva
Each ton of refrigeration (tr) is defined as 3,516.8528420666667 W and each kilovolt-ampere (kva) as 1,000 W in this tool, so one tr equals 3,516.8528420666667 ÷ 1,000 kva = 3.51685284206667 kva.
Let d(tr) be the numeric value in Ton of Refrigeration (TR) (tr), and d(kva) the value in Kilovolt-Ampere (kVA) (kva). Then:
d(kva) = d(tr) × (3,516.8528420666667 / 1,000)
Equivalently, divide by how many tr fit into one kva (watts per kva divided by watts per tr):
d(kva) = d(tr) ÷ 0.284345136094
Or: kilovolt-ampere (kva) = ton of refrigeration (tr) ÷ 0.284345136094
Examples
Example #1: Convert 1 tr to kilovolt-ampere (kva)
1 tr = 1 tr × (3,516.8528420666667/1,000) kva = 3.5168528421 kva
1 tr = 1 tr ÷ 0.284345136094 = 3.5168528421 kva
Intermediate watts: 3,516.85284207 W
Example #2: Convert 10 tr to kilovolt-ampere (kva)
10 tr = 10 tr × (3,516.8528420666667/1,000) kva = 35.1685284207 kva
10 tr = 10 tr ÷ 0.284345136094 = 35.1685284207 kva
Intermediate watts: 35,168.5284207 W
Summary
To convert Ton of Refrigeration (TR) to Kilovolt-Ampere (kVA), multiply the value in tr by the ratio of watts per tr divided by watts per kva. Equivalently: value_kva = value_tr × (3516.8528420666667 / 1000). Numerically, 1 tr equals 3.5168528420666667 kva.
Relationship context
Both units are apparent power at unity PF (VA). Conversions use fixed watt factors, so results stay consistent with the definitions in this converter. The factor from Ton of Refrigeration (TR) to Kilovolt-Ampere (kVA) is 3.516853e+0 (1 tr = 3.5168528420666667 kva).
