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) ร— PF ร— 1000

Thus, volt-amperes are equal to kilowatts multiplied by the power factor and then multiplied by 1000:

VA = kW ร— PF ร— 1000

Example 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 ร— 0.9 ร— 1000 = 9000 VA
