Example of kW to VA Calculations
To convert kilowatts (kW) to volt-amperes (VA), you need to know the power factor (PF) of the load. The formula to convert kW to VA is:
VA=kW×1000/Power Factor
Assuming a common power factor of 0.8 for these calculations.
Table of kW to VA Conversions
Below is a table showing the conversion of various kW values to VA, sorted from smallest to largest, assuming a power factor of 0.8.
| kW | Power Factor (PF) | VA | kW | Power Factor (PF) | VA |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0.8 | 1250 | 2 | 0.8 | 2500 |
| 3 | 0.8 | 3750 | 5 | 0.8 | 6250 |
| 10 | 0.8 | 12500 | 15 | 0.8 | 18750 |
| 20 | 0.8 | 25000 | 25 | 0.8 | 31250 |
| 30 | 0.8 | 37500 | 40 | 0.8 | 50000 |
| 50 | 0.8 | 62500 | 60 | 0.8 | 75000 |
