Example of kVA to kWh Calculations
To convert kilovolt-amperes (kVA) to kilowatt-hours (kWh), you need to know the duration in hours (h) and the power factor (PF) of the load. The formula to convert kVA to kWh is:
kWh=kVA×Hours×Power Factor
Assuming a common power factor of 0.8 and a duration of 1 hour for these calculations.
Table of kVA to kWh Conversions
Below is a table showing the conversion of various kVA values to kWh, sorted from smallest to largest, assuming a power factor of 0.8 and a duration of 1 hour.
