kVA to kW Calculation
The real power P in kilowatts (kW) is equal to the apparent power S in kilovolt-amps (kVA), times the power factor PF:
P(kW) = S(kVA) × PF
For example, let’s find the real power of a piece of equipment with 75 kVA of apparent power and a power factor of 0.85.
P(kW) = 75 kVA × 0.85 = 63.75 kW
So, in this example, 75 kVA can be converted to 63.75 kW.
kVA to Kilowatts Conversion Table
Here’s a table that shows the conversion of apparent power measured in kVA (kilovolt-amperes) to real power measured in kW (kilowatts) at a power factor of 0.85:
| kVA | kW |
|---|---|
| 1 | 0.85 |
| 2 | 1.7 |
| 3 | 2.55 |
| 4 | 3.4 |
| 5 | 4.25 |
| 6 | 5.1 |
| 7 | 5.95 |
| 8 | 6.8 |
| 9 | 7.65 |
| 10 | 8.5 |
| 20 | 17 |
| 30 | 25.5 |
| 40 | 34 |
| 50 | 42.5 |
| 60 | 51 |
| 100 | 85 |
Note that the conversion factor depends on the power factor, which is a measure of how efficiently power is being used in a circuit. In this case, the power factor is 0.85, which means that the real power is 85% of the apparent power.
