Example of VA to kW Calculations
To convert volt-amperes (VA) to kilowatts (kW). you need to know the power factor (PF) of the load. The formula to convert VA to kW is:
kW=VA×Power Factor/1000
Assuming a common power factor of 0.8 for these calculations.
Table of VA to kW Conversions
Below is a table showing the conversion of various VA values to kW. sorted from smallest to largest. assuming a power factor of 0.8.
| VA | Power Factor (PF) | kW | VA | Power Factor (PF) | kW |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1000.00 | 0.80 | 0.80 | 1500.00 | 0.80 | 1.20 |
| 2000.00 | 0.80 | 1.60 | 2500.00 | 0.80 | 2.00 |

Convert 1000 VA to kW
To convert 1000 VA to kW with a power factor of 0.8:
kW=1000×0.8/1000=0.8 kW
Convert 1500 VA to kW
To convert 1500 VA to kW with a power factor of 0.8:
kW=1500×0.8/1000=1.2 kW
Convert 3000 VA to kW
To convert 3000 VA to kW with a power factor of 0.8:
kW=3000×0.8/1000=2.4 kW
