Formula

The formula to calculate Watts (W) from kVA and Power Factor (PF) is:

$P (\text{W}) = S (\text{kVA}) \times 1000 \times PF$

Where:

$P$ is the Power in Watts
$S$ is the Apparent Power in kVA
$PF$ is the Power Factor

kVA to Watts Definition

kVA (kilovolt-amperes) is a unit of apparent power, representing the total power in an electrical circuit. Watts (W) is a unit of real power, representing the actual power consumed by the circuit. The conversion from kVA to watts depends on the power factor, which is a measure of how effectively the electrical power is being used.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Power ( $S$ ) = 10 kVA
Power Factor ( $PF$ ) = 0.8

Using the formula:

$P = 10 \times 1000 \times 0.8$

$P = 8000 \text{ W}$

The Power (W) is 8000 W.
