Understanding HP to kVA Conversion

Converting horsepower (HP) to kilovolt-amperes (kVA) is essential for electrical system design and motor selection. The conversion considers both motor efficiency and power factor.

Formula

kVA = (HP × 0.746) / (Efficiency × Power Factor)

Key Factors

Motor Efficiency: Typically ranges from 75% to 95%
Power Factor: Usually between 0.8 and 0.95 for motors
1 HP = 0.746 kW (kilowatts)
