Step-by-step solution
kW = kVA × cosφ
What Is kVA to kW Conversion?
kVA expresses apparent power, while kW expresses active (real) power. The conversion between them depends on the power factor (cosφ).
How is it calculated?
How Is It Calculated?
kW = kVA × cosφ
kVA = kW ÷ cosφ
- Enter the power and the power factor.
The power factor is usually between 0,8 and 0,95.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if the power factor is 1?
When the power factor is 1, the apparent power (kVA) equals the active power (kW).
