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.

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.

To convert 2000 watts to kVA at a power factor of 0.8:

kVA=2000/0.8×1000=2.50 kVA

To convert 5000 watts to kVA at a power factor of 0.8:

kVA=5000/0.8×1000=6.25 kVA

To convert 10000 watts to kVA at a power factor of 0.8:

kVA=10000/0.8×1000=12.50 kVA
