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.
