How to convert kVA to kW How to convert apparent power in kilovolt-amps (kVA) to real power in kilowatts (kW).

kVA to kW calculation formula The real power P in kilowatts (kW) is equal to the apparent power S in kilovoltamps (kVA), times the power factor PF: P(kW) = S(kVA) PF So kilowatts are equal to kilovolt-amps times the power factor. kilowatts = kilovolt-amps PF or kW = kVA PF Example What is the real power in kilowatts when the apparent power is 3 kVA and the pow er factor is 0.8? Solution: P = 3kVA 0.8 = 2.4kW
