Example of Volts to kW Calculations
To convert volts (V) to kilowatts (kW), you need to know the current in amperes (A) and the power factor (PF). The formula to convert volts to kW is:
kW=Volts×Amps×Power Factor/1000
For simplicity, let's assume a common power factor of 0.8 for these calculations. Since the current is not provided, we'll use a standard assumption of 1 ampere (A) for demonstration purposes. Adjust the calculations accordingly if you have the specific current value.
Table of Volts to kW Conversions
Below is a table showing the conversion of various voltage values to kW, sorted from smallest to largest, assuming a current of 1 ampere (A) and a power factor of 0.8.
