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.
