Conversion using the Volts to KW Formula
How to Calculate KW from Volts and Amps using DC line current.
The Real Power P in Kilowatts Kw is calculated as the voltage in volts V, times the current in amps A divided by 1000. Plug these values into the formula:
For Example, let's convert 12 volts to KW for a DC circuit with 20 amps of current.
How to Calculate KW from volts, amps and Power factor pf using AC Single Phase current.
The Real Power P in Kilowatts kw is calculated as the Power factor in pf times the current I in amps A, times the voltage v in volts v divided by 1000. Plug these values into the formula:
For Example, let's convert 220 volts to Kw for an AC electrical circuit with 25 amps of current and a power factor of 0.8.
How to Calculate KW from Volts, Amps and Power factor pf using AC 3-phase current for Line-to-Line Voltage.
The Real Power p in kilowatts Kw is calculated as the square root of 3 times the Power factor in pf times current I in amps A, times the Line-to-Line RMS VL-L in volts v divided by 1000. Plug these values into the formula:
For Example, let's convert 440 Volts to KW for an AC Electrical circuit with 15 amps of current and a power factor of 0.8.
How to Calculate KW from Volts, Amps and Power factor pf using AC 3-phase current for Line-to-Neutral Voltage.
The Real Power p in Kilowatts kw is calculated as the 3 times the power factor in pf times the current I in amps A, times the Line-to-Neutral RMS voltage VL-N in volts V divided by 1000. Plug these values into the formula:
For Example, let's convert 440 Volts to KW for an AC Electrical circuit with 16 amps of current and a power factor of 0.9.

Frequently Asked Questions - FAQs for Volts to KW Calculator
An electrical theory tells us that for a single-phase system, kW = (V × I × PF) ÷ 1,000. kW = (V × I) ÷ 1,000.
For example, a 200kVA generator with a power factor of 0.8 outputs 80kW actual power; 200 kVA × 0.8 = 160 kW.
6 unit of electricity = 6 kWh. The electricity used is generally charged for in unit of electricity'. Killowatt-hours is the product of watts × time (1 kilowatt = 1000 watts).
1 Volt is defined as energy consumption of 1 joule per electric charge of 1 coulomb. 1V = 1J ÷ C.
How Many Watts in 1 Amp? The wattage in 1 amp depends on the voltage of the system. Using the formula for DC conversion: Watts = Amps × Volts, at 120 volts, 2 amps would equal 240 watts.
