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.
