Conversion using the KW to VA Formula

How to Calculate Volt-amps VA from Real Power kw and Power factor pf using AC Phase current.

The Apparent Power S in volt-amps VA is calculated as the 1000 times the Real Power P in Kilowatts kw, divided by the power factor in pf. Plug these values into the formula:

VA = 1000 × KWpf

For Example, let's Convert the Real power of 12 kW with a power factor of 0.8 to the apparent power in volt amps.

Apparent Power(S) = 1000 × Real Power(P)Power factor(pf)

or,S(VA) = 1000 × 12 KW0.8 pf

or, Voltamps = 15000 VA

Frequently Asked Questions - FAQs for KW to VA Calculator

What is VA voltage?

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

Is it VA or KVA?

KVA and VA are simply KVA = 1,000VA. The difference between KVA and KW. You need to know the power factor to calculate KW from KVA. Where pf is the power factor.

What is VA and kW?

Both kilowatts and volt-amps measure electrical power. Kilowatts are a measure of real power, while volt-amps are a measure of apparent power.

What is 1 watt in VA?

In a DC circuit, 1 VA is the equivalent of 1 W. This equivalence means that the power factor of that power supply is 1.

Is VA equal to KW?

The ratio between the VA (i.e. RMS volts time RMS amps) and Watts is called the power factor PF. In other words, volt-amps × power factor = watts. Similarly, KVA × PF = KW, Or kilovolt-amps times power factor equals kilowatts.
