Kilowatts to Volt-Amperes Converter
How to Convert Kilowatts (kW) to Volt-Amperes (VA)
To convert kilowatts (kW) to volt-amperes (VA), you need to account for the power factor (PF), which relates real power (kW) to apparent power (VA). The formula is:
KW to VA Calculation Formula
The apparent power S in volt-amperes (VA) is equal to the real power P in kilowatts (kW), multiplied by the power factor PF:
S(VA) = P(kW) × PF × 1000Thus, volt-amperes are equal to kilowatts multiplied by the power factor and then multiplied by 1000:
VA = kW × PF × 1000Example Calculation
If you have a power measurement of 10 kW and a power factor of 0.9, the calculation would be:
S(VA) = 10 kW × 0.9 × 1000 = 9000 VAFor more information on volt-amperes, visit the Wikipedia page on Volt-Amperes.
