kVA to Watts (W) Calculator
Real power in watts:
Calculation Formula
P(W) = 1000 × S(kVA) × PF
Where:
- P(W) is the real power in watts
- S(kVA) is the apparent power in kilovolt-amps
- PF is the power factor (a dimensionless number between 0 and 1)
How to Convert kVA to Watts
To convert from kilovolt-amps (kVA) to watts (W), you need to know the power factor (PF) of the electrical system.
The real power P in watts (W) is equal to 1000 times the apparent power S in kilovolt-amps (kVA), multiplied by the power factor PF:
Example Calculation
What is the real power in watts when the apparent power is 3 kVA and the power factor is 0.8?
P = 1000 × 3kVA × 0.8 = 2400W
