Most electric utilities and their meters measure and bill electrical power in metric units of
kilowatts (kW). Output Power. The motor's output power is the mechanical power it
produces at the motor shaft to drive the load.
Power Factor:
The ratio between the VA (i.e. rms volts time rms amps) and Watts is called the power factor
PF. In other words, volt-amps x power factor = watts. Similarly,KVA*PF = KW, ... This is
because VA considers the peak of both current and voltage, without taking into account if
they happen at the same time or not.
