Formula

The formula to calculate Kilowatts (kW) from Volt-Amps (VA) and Power Factor (PF) is:

\[ P (\text{kW}) = \frac{S (\text{VA}) \times PF}{1000} \]

Where:

VA to kW Definition

VA (volt-amps) is a unit of apparent power, representing the total power in an electrical circuit. kW (kilowatts) is a unit of real power, representing the actual power consumed by the circuit. The conversion from VA to kW depends on the power factor of the circuit.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ P = \frac{1000 \times 0.8}{1000} \]

\[ P = 0.8 \text{ kW} \]

The Real Power (kW) is 0.8 kW.
