Understanding Watts to kVA Conversion

What is kVA?

kVA (kilovolt-amperes) is a measure of apparent power in an electrical circuit. Unlike watts, which measure real power, kVA includes both real and reactive power components.

Conversion Formula

The formula to convert watts to kVA is:

kVA = Watts ÷ (1000 × Power Factor)

Power Factor

Power factor is a measure of how effectively electrical power is being used, ranging from 0 to 1. A power factor of 1 indicates that all power is being used effectively, while lower values indicate reactive power in the system.
