  2. Volt-ampere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volt-ampere

    In direct current (DC) circuits, this product is equal to the real power, measured in watts. [3] The volt-ampere is dimensionally equivalent to the watt: in SI units, 1 V⋅A = 1 W. VA rating is most used for generators and transformers, and other power handling equipment, where loads may be reactive (inductive or capacitive).

  3. Power-to-weight ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-to-weight_ratio

    Heat engines are able to convert thermal energy in the form of a temperature gradient between a hot source and a cold sink into other desirable mechanical work. Heat pumps take mechanical work to regenerate thermal energy in a temperature gradient. Standard definitions should be used when interpreting how the propulsive power of a jet or rocket ...

  4. Orders of magnitude (power) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(power)

    For reference, about 10,000 100-watt lightbulbs or 5,000 computer systems would be needed to draw 1 MW. Also, 1 MW is approximately 1360 horsepower. Modern high-power diesel-electric locomotives typically have a peak power of 3–5 MW, while a typical modern nuclear power plant produces on the order of 500–2000 MW peak output.

  5. Distribution transformer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distribution_transformer

    Distribution transformers typically have ratings less than 200 kVA, [3] although some national standards allow units up to 5000 kVA to be described as distribution transformers. Since distribution transformers are energized 24 hours a day (even when they don't carry any load), reducing iron losses is vital in their design.

  6. Power density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_density

    In the domain of energy storage and conversion technologies, such as batteries, fuel cells, motors, and power supply units, power density is a crucial consideration. Here, power density often refers to the volume power density, quantifying how much power can be accommodated or delivered within a specific volume (W/m 3 ).

    Jack Nelson, Soren Dixon and Krysta Tsukahara, all 19, were killed in a fiery Tesla Cybertruck crash Wednesday, while a fourth friend, Jordan Miller, 20, survived but was seriously burned.

  9. Electric power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power

    Electric power is the rate of transfer of electrical energy within a circuit.Its SI unit is the watt, the general unit of power, defined as one joule per second.Standard prefixes apply to watts as with other SI units: thousands, millions and billions of watts are called kilowatts, megawatts and gigawatts respectively.
