Example of Watts to KVA Calculations
To convert watts (W) to kilovolt-amperes (kVA), you need to know the power factor (PF) of the load. The formula to convert watts to kVA is:
kVA=Watts/Power Factor×1000
Assuming a common power factor of 0.8 for these calculations.
Table of Watts to kVA Conversions
Below is a table showing the conversion of various watt values to kVA, sorted from smallest to largest, assuming a power factor of 0.8.

Convert 2000 Watts to kVA
To convert 2000 watts to kVA at a power factor of 0.8:
kVA=2000/0.8×1000=2.50 kVA
Convert 5000 Watts to kVA
To convert 5000 watts to kVA at a power factor of 0.8:
kVA=5000/0.8×1000=6.25 kVA
Convert 10000 Watts to kVA
To convert 10000 watts to kVA at a power factor of 0.8:
kVA=10000/0.8×1000=12.50 kVA
