Kilovolt-amps (kVA) to Kilowatts (kW) calculator
kVA to kW conversion
How to convert apparent power in kilovolt-amps (kVA) to real power in kilowatts (kW)
Actual power in kilowatts (kW) may be calculated by multiplying the power factor PF with the apparent power S in kVA
P (kW) = S(kVA) × PF
Therefore:
Kilowatts = the power factor multiplied by the apparent power in kilovolt-amps
kilowatts = kilovolt-amps × PF
Or
kW = kVA × PF
Example One
Work out the real power in an electrical circuit, given that the power factor is 0.9 and the apparent power is 5kVA.
Solution
P(kW) = S(kVA) × PF
P = 5kVA × 0.9 = 4.5kW
