kVA to kW Calculator

Understanding kVA to kW Conversion

The conversion from kilovolt-amps (kVA) to kilowatts (kW) is essential in electrical engineering and power systems. kVA represents apparent power, while kW represents real power - the actual power consumed by the system.

How to Use This Calculator

1. Enter the apparent power in kVA

2. Input the power factor (typically between 0.8 and 1.0)

3. Click "Calculate" to get the result in kW

Formula Used

The conversion uses the formula: kW = kVA × Power Factor

Common Power Factor Values

• Motors: 0.7 to 0.9

• Lighting: 0.95 to 1.0

• Heating: 1.0
