    What do you need to know to calculate AC KW?

    Conversion using the KVA to KW Formula

    How to Calculate KW from Apparent power KVA and Power factor pf using AC Phase current.

    Kilowatts = KVA × pf

    For Example, let's find the real power of a piece of equipment with 70 kVA of apparent power and a power factor of 0.9.


    Real Power(p) = Kilovolt-amps(s) × Power factor(pf)
    or, P(KW) = 70 KVA × 0.9 pf
    or, Kilowatts = 63 KW

    Frequently Asked Questions - FAQs for KVA to KW Calculator

    What is a 0.8 power factor (pf)?

    A common industry standard generator's Real power factor rating is 0.8, or 80%, meaning these loads can use 80% of the generator's power supply.

    What is Apparent power (VA) voltage?

    volt-ampere (VA) is the voltage times the current flow feeding an electrical load. A kilovolt-ampere (kVA) is 1000 volt-amperes. Electrical Real power is measured in watts (W).

    How to calculate kVA?

    A calculate the kVA rating for a single-phase transformer, you will need to multiply the required input voltage (V) by the required current load in amperes (l) and then divide that number by 1,000: V * l / 1,000.

    What is the Power Factor (PF) in electricity?

    The power factor is an expression of energy efficiency. It is usually expressed as a percentage—and the lower the percentage, the less efficient power usage is. Power factor (PF) is the ratio of working Real power, measured in kilowatts (kW), to apparent power (VA), measured in kilovolt amperes (kVA).

    What is the kVA value?

    kVAh is short for "kilovolt-ampere hour." It is a measure of perceived power, which comprises both reactive and actual power.
