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.

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
3000.00	0.80	2.40	4000.00	0.80	3.20
5000.00	0.80	4.00	6000.00	0.80	4.80
7000.00	0.80	5.60	8000.00	0.80	6.40
9000.00	0.80	7.20	10000.00	0.80	8.00
12000.00	0.80	9.60	15000.00	0.80	12.00
20000.00	0.80	16.00	25000.00	0.80	20.00
30000.00	0.80	24.00	35000.00	0.80	28.00
40000.00	0.80	32.00	45000.00	0.80	36.00
50000.00	0.80	40.00	100000.00	0.80	80.00

To convert 1000 VA to kW with a power factor of 0.8:

kW=1000×0.8/1000=0.8 kW

To convert 1500 VA to kW with a power factor of 0.8:

kW=1500×0.8/1000=1.2 kW

To convert 3000 VA to kW with a power factor of 0.8:

kW=3000×0.8/1000=2.4 kW
