kVA to kW Conversion Calculator
Fill in any two of the below fields to calculate the third field
How to Use the Calculator
kVA from Kilowatts
Convert power in kilowatts to apparent power in kVA:
kVA = Kilowatts / Power Factor
Kilowatts from kVA
Convert apparent power to real power:
Kilowatts = kVA x Power Factor
Power Factor
Find power factor from known kW and kVA:
Power Factor = Kilowatts / kVA
Definitions
Below are the definitions for the different terms that this calculator uses
What is Voltage?
Electric potential, measured in volts (V), represents the amount of electrical potential energy per unit charge at a specific point in the circuit. Voltage is the driving force that causes electric charges to move within a circuit.
What is kVA?
kVA stands for kilovolt-ampere, which is a unit of apparent power in an electrical system. It measures the total power, both real and reactive, in an alternating current (AC) circuit. The symbol for kilovolt-ampere is “kVA.”
What are Amps?
Amps, short for amperes, is a unit of electric current. It is a measure of the rate at which electric charges flow through a conductor in an electrical circuit.
What is a transformer?
A transformer is an electrical device that takes a given input voltage and changes it to a different output voltage. This change can either be an increase or a decrease in voltage. Learn What Transformers Are, and How They Work
What is Available Fault Current?
Available Fault Current in transformers is the maximum current that can flow in a power system in the event of a fault, such as a short circuit.
