kVA to Kilowatts Calculator
Instructions:
- Enter kVA:
Input the apparent power in kilovolt-amperes (kVA) into the "Apparent Power (kVA)" field. - Enter Power Factor (PF):
Input the power factor (PF) into the "Power Factor (PF)" field. This value should be between 0 and 1. - Select Phase:
Choose the appropriate phase type from the "Phase" dropdown:- AC Single Phase: Select this option if you are working with a single-phase electrical system.
- AC Three Phase (Line to Line Voltage): Select this option if you are working with a three-phase electrical system where the voltage is measured from line to line.
- AC Three Phase (Line to Neutral Voltage): Select this option if you are working with a three-phase electrical system where the voltage is measured between the line to neutral.
- Calculate:
Click the "Calculate" button to compute the power in kilowatts (kW) based on the provided kVA and power factor. The result will be displayed in the highlighted box as a whole number. - Reset:
Click the "Reset" button to clear all input fields and the result. This allows you to perform new calculations without any previous data.
By following these instructions, you can accurately convert apparent power (kVA) to real power (kilowatts) for different types of AC electrical circuits while considering the power factor. If you encounter any issues or have further questions, please consult additional resources or seek expert advice.
