The volt ampere (V.A) is the unit of measurement of apparent power.
Apparent power is the vector sum of a circuit's true power and reactive power.
A kV.A (not 'KVA') is the symbol for kilovolt ampere, whereas MV.A (not'MVA') is the symbol for megavolt ampere. So the latter is one-thousand times greater than the former!

Transformer rating is expressed in?
VA or KVA or MVA
How do you calculate the output voltage of a transformer if kva rating is known?
You can't determine the output voltage of a transformer by knowing kva. Transformers will be marked as to input and output voltages. Some will have multiple input and output voltages. The output voltage depends on the ratio of coil turns between input and output.
What is difference between KV and KVA for transmission line?
KV, kilovolts, or kilojoules per coulomb is not the same thing as KVA, kilovoltamperes, or kilojoules per second, and no direct comparison exists. Please restate the question.
How do you convert volts to mva?
Do you mean 'megavolt ampere' (MV.A) or 'millivolt ampere' (mV.A)? By using the incorrect symbol ('mva'), this is not clear.To determine the apparent power, in volt amperes, you divide the true power, in watts, by the power factor of the load. One volt ampere is one-millionth of a megavolt ampere ('MV.A' -not 'mva') -assuming you don't mean 'millivolt ampere' ('mV.A')!
What does mva stand for in the turbo generator field?
There are two concerns here regarding loading on transformers of this size. First is the difference between MVA and MW. MW is just real power -- watts. MVA is total power which includes real power (MW) and reactive power (MVAR).--- http://en.allexperts.com/q/Electric-Power-Utilities-2405/operation-limit-oof-power.htm
