How To Convert VA To Watts and KVA To Kilowatts
How To Convert VA To Watts and KVA To Kilowatts
Since watts is volts times amps, what is VA? VA (or volt-amps) is also volts times amps, the concept however has been extended to AC power. For DC current
Basics
Where A stands for the RMS amps, VA stands for volt-amps, V stands .for RMS volts and PF stands for the power factor Converting VA to Volts :How to convert VA to volts? Use the following formula
Where V stands for RMS volts, A stands for the RMS amps, VA stands .for volt-amps, and PF stands for the power factor ?What is KVA :KVA is just kilovolt-amps, or volts times amps divided by 1000 Where KVA stands for kilovolt-amps, KW stands for kilowatts, and PF .stands for the power factor :Keep the factor of 1000 straight when dealing with mixed units
(KVAPF = W/1000 (any load, including inductive loads (VAPF = 1000KW (Kilowatts to VA
The Following equations can be used to convert beween amps, volts, and VA. To convert between kilovolt-amps, kilowatts, and kiloamps, keep track of the factor of .1000 (Converting VA to Amps (voltage fixed (The conversion of VA to Amps is governed by the equation Amps = VAPF/Volts For example 12 VA0.6/(12 volts) = 0.6 amp (Converting KVA to KW (Kilovolt-amps to Kilowatts (The conversion of KVA to KW is governed by the equation KVA = KW/PF For example, if the power factor is 0.6 KVA0.6 = 72 Kilowatts 120 (Converting Watts to KVA (watts to kilovolt-amps (The conversion of W to KVA is governed by the equation KVA=W/(1000*PF (For example 1500W/(1000*0.83) = 1.8 kVA (assuming a power factor of 0.83 F (Converting Amps to VA (voltage fixed The conversion of Amps to VA is governed by the equation VA = Amps Volts/PF For example 1 amp * 110 volts/0.6 = 183 VA (Converting Amps to KVA (voltage fixed The conversion of Amps to KVA is governed by the equation KVA = Amps Volts/
((1000PF For example 100 amp * 110 volts/(1000*0.6) = 18.3 KVA (Converting VA to Volts (current fixed The conversion of VA to Volts is governed by the equation Volts = VAPF/Amps For example 100 VA 0.6/10 amps = 6 volts (Converting Volts to VA (current fixed The conversion of Volts to VA is governed by the equation VA = Amps Volts/PF For example 1.5 amps * 12 volts/0.6 = 30 VA Converting Volts to Amps at fixed VA The conversion of Volts to Amps is governed by the equation Amps = VAPF/Volts For example 120 VA* 0.6 /110 volts = 0.65 amps Converting Amps to Volts at fixed VA The conversion of Amps to Volts is governed by the equation Volts = VAPF/Amps For Example, 48 VA 0.6 / 12 Amps = 2.4 Volts
