How to use the kVA to kW Converter
The Formula
kW = kVA × power factor. Power factor is the ratio of real power to apparent power in AC systems.
Practical Example
Resistive loads (heaters) are near 1.0. Motors and fluorescent lighting are often 0.7–0.9. Poor power factor increases current and may incur utility penalties.
