Watts to kVA Calculation

The apparent power S in kilovolt-amps (kVA) is equal to the real power P in watts (W), divided by 1000 times the power factor PF:

S(kVA) =  P(W) / (1000 × PF)

For example, let’s convert 6200 watts to kVA given a power factor of 0.85.

S(kVA) = 6200 W/ (1,000 × 0.85) = 7.294117 kVA
