Example of kW to kVA Calculations

To convert kilowatts (kW) to kilovolt-amperes (kVA), you need to know the power factor (PF) of the load. The formula to convert kW to kVA is:

kVA=kW/Power Factor

Assuming a common power factor of 0.8 for these calculations.

Table of kW to kVA Conversions

Below is a table showing the conversion of various kW values to kVA, sorted from smallest to largest, assuming a power factor of 0.8.

Convert 1 kW to kVA

To convert 1 kW to kVA at a power factor of 0.8:

kVA=1/0.8=1.25 kVA

Convert 10 kW to kVA

To convert 10 kW to kVA at a power factor of 0.8:

kVA=10/0.8=12.50 kVA

Convert 100 kW to kVA

To convert 100 kW to kVA at a power factor of 0.8:

kVA=100/0.8=125.00 kVA
