Result:
Calculation used:
Instructions:
- Enter Watts:
- In the input field labeled “Enter Watts,” input the amount of power in watts that you want to convert to VA (volt-amperes).
- Enter Power Factor:
- In the input field labeled “Enter Power Factor (0-1),” input the power factor associated with the electrical device or system. The power factor typically ranges from 0 to 1, where 1 represents a perfect unity power factor.
- Calculate:
- Click the “Calculate” button to compute the VA (volt-amperes) based on the entered watts and power factor.
- Result:
- The calculated VA (volt-amperes) will be displayed below the calculator after clicking the “Calculate” button.
- Reset:
- To clear the input fields and the result, click the “Reset” button.
If you encounter any issues or have further questions, please consult additional resources or seek expert advice.
Formula Used:
The formula used to calculate VA (volt-amperes) from watts and power factor is:
VA = Watts
Power Factor
Where:
- Watts is the amount of power in watts.
- Power Factor is the ratio of real power to apparent power, typically ranging from 0 to 1.
This calculation helps in determining the apparent power required for an electrical system or device, considering the power factor which accounts for the effects of reactive power.
