Convert volt ampere to gigajoule/second
Please provide values below to convert volt ampere [V*A] to gigajoule/second [GJ/s], or Convert gigajoule/second to volt ampere.
How to Convert Volt Ampere to Gigajoule/second
1 V*A = 1e-09 GJ/s
Example: convert 15 V*A to GJ/s:
15 V*A = 15 × 1e-09 GJ/s = 1.5e-08 GJ/s

Volt Ampere
Volt ampere (V·A) is a unit of apparent power in an electrical circuit, representing the product of voltage and current without considering power factor.
History/Origin
The volt ampere was established as a unit of apparent power with the development of electrical engineering, particularly as a measure in alternating current (AC) systems. It is derived from the SI units volt (V) and ampere (A).
Current Use
Volt ampere is used to quantify apparent power in AC electrical systems, especially in the context of transformers, generators, and power supplies, to assess capacity and performance.
Gigajoule/second
A gigajoule per second (GJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one gigajoule of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The gigajoule per second emerged as a larger-scale unit of power measurement, primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts to quantify high power levels, especially in energy production and consumption. It is derived from the SI unit joule and the prefix giga, combined with the second as the time unit.
Current Use
GJ/s is used in fields such as energy industry, power generation, and large-scale energy transfer analysis to express high power rates, often in the context of power plants, energy infrastructure, and large energy projects.
