Hp to MVA Conversion Formula:

MVA is mega voltamp which is used to indicate the rating of larger size transformer and generator. Here MVA is equal to 746 times of power P_(HP) divided by 10⁶ times of power factor. Hence for converting HP to MVA,

S_(MAV) = 746 x P_(HP) / (pf x 10⁶)

Or

S_(MVA) = 0.000746 x P_(HP) / pf

Apparent power in MVA = 746 x Horsepower / (power factor x 1000000)

Example:

Calculate the apparent power in MVA rating of the 5000 HP motor at 0.9 power factor.

S_(MVA) = 746 x 5000 / (0.9 x 10⁶) = 4.14 MVA

Hence 5000 HP motor can deliver 4.14 MVA apparent power at 0.9 power factor.
