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.
| kW | Power Factor (PF) | kVA |
|---|---|---|
| 1.00 | 0.80 | 1.25 |
| 10.00 | 0.80 | 12.50 |
| 15.00 | 0.80 | 18.75 |
| 20.00 | 0.80 | 25.00 |
| 30.00 | 0.80 | 37.50 |
| 50.00 | 0.80 | 62.50 |
| 100.00 | 0.80 | 125.00 |
| 150.00 | 0.80 | 187.50 |
| 200.00 | 0.80 | 250.00 |
| 300.00 | 0.80 | 375.00 |
| 500.00 | 0.80 | 625.00 |
| 1000.00 | 0.80 | 1250.00 |
