Similarly one may ask, how many watts are in a volt amp?
Volt-amperes are useful only in the contextofalternating current (AC) circuits. This toolconvertsvolt-ampere to watts (va to w) and viceversa. 1volt-ampere = 1 watts. The user must fill oneof thetwo fields and the conversion willbecomeautomatically.
Beside above, is a volt amp equal to a watt?
A volt-ampere (VA) is the unit used fortheapparent power in an electrical circuit. The apparentpowerequals the product of root-mean-square (RMS)voltageand RMS current. In direct current (DC) circuits,this product isequal to the real power (active power)inwatts.
The power drawn by computing equipment is expressedinWatts or Volt-Amps (VA). The power in Wattsisthe real power drawn by the equipment. However, forcomputerequipment the Watt and VA ratings candiffersignificantly, with the VA rating always beingequalto or larger than the Watt rating.
