How to convert kVA to kW

How to convert apparent power in kilovolt-amps (kVA) toreal power in kilowatts (kW).

 

kVA to kW calculation formula

The real power P in kilowatts (kW) is equal to the apparent power S in kilovolt-amps (kVA), times the power factor PF:

P(kW) =  S(kVA) × PF

So kilowatts are equal to kilovolt-amps times the power factor.

kilowatts = kilovolt-amps × PF

or

kW = kVA × PF

 

Example

What is the real power in kilowatts when the apparent power is 3 kVA and the power factor is 0.8?

Solution:

P = 3kVA × 0.8 = 2.4kW
