In this article I will show you how to convert 1 gigavolt-amperes into megavolt-amperes. Throughout the explanation below I might also call it 1 gva to mgva. They are the same thing!
How to Convert Gigavolt-amperes to Megavolt-amperes
A gigavolt-ampere is greater than a megavolt-ampere. I know that a gva is greater than a mgva because of something called conversion factors.
Put very simply, a conversion factor is a number that can be used to change one set of units to another, by multiplying or dividing it. So when we need to convert 1 gigavolt-amperes into megavolt-amperes, we use a conversion factor to get the answer.
The conversion factor for gva to mgva is:
Now that we know what the conversion factor is, we can easily calculate the conversion of 1 gva to mgva by multiplying 1000 by the number of gigavolt-amperes we have, which is 1.
So, the answer to the question "what is 1 gigavolt-amperes in megavolt-amperes?" is 1000 mgva.

Best Conversion Unit for 1 gva
Sometimes when you work with conversions from one unit to another, the numbers can get a little confusing. Especially when dealing with really large numbers.
I've also calculated what the best unit of measurement is for 1 gva.
To determine which unit is best, I decided to define that as being the unit of measurement which is as low as possible, without going below 1. Smaller numbers are more easily understood and can make it easier for you to understand the measurement.
The best unit of measurement I have found for 1 gva is gigavolt-amperes and the amount is 1 gva.
