Megavolt-Ampere
Definition: A megavolt-ampere (MVA) is a unit of measurement for apparent power, equal to 1,000,000 VA (Volt-Amperes).
History/origin: The megavolt-ampere (MVA) is based on the concept of apparent power. The 'mega-' prefix indicates a factor of 1,000,000, making MVA suitable for very large apparent power quantities.
Current use: MVA are used to measure and manage apparent power in large power systems and transmission networks. It is typically used to specify the capacity of generators, transformers, and transmission lines in power grids.
Gigavolt-Ampere
Definition: A gigavolt-ampere (GVA) is a unit of measurement for apparent power, equal to 1,000,000,000 VA (Volt-Amperes).
History/origin: The gigavolt-ampere (GVA) is based on the concept of apparent power. The 'giga-' prefix indicates a factor of 1,000,000,000, making GVA suitable for extremely large apparent power quantities.
Current use: GVA are used to measure and manage apparent power in very large power systems and transmission networks. It is typically used to specify the capacity of large power plants and interconnection lines between regional grids.
