In this article I will show you how to convert 5 millivolt-amperes into volt-amperes. Throughout the explanation below I might also call it 5 mlva to va. They are the same thing!
How to Convert Millivolt-amperes to Volt-amperes
A millivolt-ampere is smaller than a volt-ampere. I know that a mlva is smaller than a va 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 5 millivolt-amperes into volt-amperes, we use a conversion factor to get the answer.
The conversion factor for mlva to va is:
Now that we know what the conversion factor is, we can easily calculate the conversion of 5 mlva to va by multiplying 0.001
by the number of millivolt-amperes we have, which is 5.
So, the answer to the question "what is 5 millivolt-amperes in volt-amperes?" is 0.005 va.

Best Conversion Unit for 5 mlva
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 5 mlva.
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 5 mlva is millivolt-amperes and the amount is 5 mlva.
