To convert kilovolt-amperes (kVA) to watts (W), you need to know the power factor (PF) of the load. The formula to convert kVA to watts is:
Watts=kVA×Power Factor×1000
Assuming a common power factor of 0.8 for these calculations.
Below is a table showing the conversion of various kVA values to watts sorted from smallest to largest, assuming a power factor of 0.8.
| kVA | Power Factor (PF) | Watts (W) |
|---|---|---|
| 0.50 | 0.80 | 400.00 |
| 1.10 | 0.80 | 880.00 |
| 1.20 | 0.80 | 960.00 |

To convert 1 kVA to watts at a power factor of 0.8:
Watts=1×0.8×1000=800 W
To convert 2 kVA to watts at a power factor of 0.8:
Watts=2×0.8×1000=1600 W
To convert 3 kVA to watts at a power factor of 0.8:
Watts=3×0.8×1000=2400 W
