kW to VA Calculator
Instructions on How to Use the Calculator:
- Enter Power (kW):
- Input the power in kilowatts (kW) into the "Power (kW)" field.
- Enter Power Factor (PF):
- Input the power factor (PF) into the "Power Factor (PF)" field. The power factor should be a value between 0 and 1.
- Calculate:
- Click the "Calculate" button to compute the apparent power (VA) based on the provided kW and power factor. The result will be displayed in the highlighted box.
- Reset:
- Click the "Reset" button to clear all input fields and the result. This allows you to perform new calculations without any previous data.
If you encounter any issues or have further questions, please consult additional resources or seek expert advice.
Formulas used for Kilowatts (kW) to Volt-Ampere (VA) Conversion
The formula used in the kW to VA (Volt-Ampere) conversion calculator considers the power factor (PF) to calculate the apparent power (VA) from the real power (kW). Here's the formula:
VA = Power X 1000
Power Factor
Where:
- VA is the apparent power in Volt-Amperes (VA).
- Power (kW) is the real power in kilowatts (kW).
- Power Factor (PF) is the power factor, which should be a value between 0 and 1.
This formula calculates the apparent power (VA) required by an electrical load based on its real power consumption (kW) and power factor. The power factor accounts for the phase angle between the voltage and current waveforms in an AC circuit.
