Example of kWh to kVA Calculations
To convert kilowatt-hours (kWh) to kilovolt-amperes (kVA). you need to know the duration in hours (h) and the power factor (PF) of the load. The formula to convert kWh to kVA is:
kVA=kWh/Hours×Power Factor
Assuming a common power factor of 0.8 and a duration of 1 hour for these calculations.
Table of kWh to kVA Conversions
Below is a table showing the conversion of various kWh values to kVA. sorted from smallest to largest. assuming a power factor of 0.8 and a duration of 1 hour.
