Convert Kw To Kva Calculator FAQ

What is difference between kva and kw?

Key Differences KW is the real electrical power while KW is the apparent electrical power. KW is termed as kilo Watts while KVA is termed as kilo Volta Amperes. KW is the amount of the work done by electricity while only a small fraction of KVA does work.

Is kva the same as kw?

KVA has the units of power and KWH has the units of energy so they are not the same thing. In addition KVA is similar to KW - same units but the former refers to reactive power and the latter to DC or resistive power. So the numbers you give can't be equivalent.

Why is motor rated in kw instead of kva?

The motor is rated in KW instead of KVA because motor produces mechanical output which is directly related to the real power consumption done by the motor, unlike a generator in which the power is rated in KVA because the output of the generator depends upon the type of load connected to it.

What is the formula to calculate kva?

Calculate power rating in kilovolts-amperes, or "KVA," when you know voltage and current rating. Use the formula: P(KVA) = VA/1000 where P(KVA) is power in KVA, V is voltage and A is current in amperes.
