In this article I will show you how to convert 472 gigavolt-amperes into megavolt-amperes. Throughout the explanation below I might also call it 472 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 472 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 472 gva to mgva by multiplying 1000 by the number of gigavolt-amperes we have, which is 472.
So, the answer to the question "what is 472 gigavolt-amperes in megavolt-amperes?" is 472000 mgva.
