For a purely resistive load with a unity power factor, 9.41 kVA would equal 9.41 kW. However some equipment such as a motor will have a power factor less than 1. If the power factor is 0.8 then 9.41 kVA would equal 9.41 x 0.8 kW.

Why transformer are rated in kVA instead of KW?
Transformers are rated in VA or kVA. That is because the voltage is limited by the power loss in the magnetic core, and the current is limited by the power loss in the resistance of the windings. The rated voltage times the rated current gives the transformer's rating in kVA.
How do you calculate DG set current from kva?
Rating for DG set and any of electrical machines is calculated in KVA. KVA is calculated as KW/pf. One can calculate the required KVA for DG set with this formulation: (KW/pf)/load rate. For example KW=110, pf=0.8 and one loads the DG at 75%, so KVA= (110/0.8)/0.75=185 KVA.
How many kVA equal kvar?
For normal power factors (pf=80%), you have 0.8 kW for every kva. In general however, kW = pf x kVA. Where pf is the power factor, it is the cosine of the angular difference between the voltage and the current of a circuit in alternating current circuits.
How much kvar capacitor bank installed for 2000 kva transformer?
It depends on the power factor of the load, but for a load power factor of 0.7 on a 2000 kVA transformer the real power and reactive power are both 1400 kilo (watts and VAR). So a 1400 kVAR capacitor on the load would restore the power factor to 1, allowing 2000 kW to be drawn instead of only 1400 kW.
Convert 20 kva to kw?
Your question cannot be answered, unless the power factor of the load is specified. Since true power(measured in watts) is the product of apparent power(measured in volt amperes) and the power factor of the load.So, given your figure of an apparent power of 20 kV.A(not 'kva'*), the corresponding value of true power could (theoretically!) range from20 kW at a power factor of 1.0, to0 kW at a power factor of 0.(*The correct symbol for kilovolt ampere is 'kV.A', not 'kva', and the correct symbol for kilowatt is 'kW', not 'kw'.)
When using an external resistive load bank to test an engine driven generator do you load it to kVA or KW?
It does not matter, when testing a generator with a resistive load bank, if you load it to kVA or KW. For a resitive load, i.e. non-reactive load, the power factor is one, so kVA and kW are the same.
Is 6.5kW greater generator than 6.5 kva generator?
Yes of cours1 kw =1.25 kva wich mean6.5 kw =8.12 kvaif you have generator 8.12 kva it give you 6.5 kw=============================Answer #2:1 kw does not necessarily = 1.25 kvaThe relationship between KW and KVA depends on the nature of the load you'repowering, and is called the "power factor". It describes how closely the voltageand current peaks coincide in time. If the load has any inductive or capacitxivereactance, then the voltage and current waveforms become separated in time.The "KVA" is the product of the full voltage and full current without regard fortheir "phase difference", but the "real" power in KW is the KVA multiplied by thecosine of the phase angle. So if there's any inductance or capacitance present,then the KW is less than the KVA. But if the load is pure resistive, then thevoltage and current on the line are in phase, the angle between them is zero,and the KW and KVA are equal.When everything is just exactly perfect, and there is no reactance on the load orthe line, then your 6.5 KVA generator can just exactly supply 6.5 KW of load, withnothing to spare. More commonly, of course, a generator with somewhat morethan 6.5 KVA capacity is required in order to supply 6.5 KW of 'real' power.
Why transformer are rated in kVA instead of KW?
Transformers are rated in VA or kVA. That is because the voltage is limited by the power loss in the magnetic core, and the current is limited by the power loss in the resistance of the windings. The rated voltage times the rated current gives the transformer's rating in kVA.

Convert kw single phase to 3 phase kva?
KVA is the unit for the apparent power i.e it's the vector sum of the true power in KW and the reactive power in reactive volt-amperage. So, to get the value of the KVA for the 30KW,just divide the active power(30kw) with the power factor of that load.
How many kva equal to 1 mega watt?
KVA is a rating for complex power (real + reactive power): KVA = KVAR + KW Also, there is 1000KVA in 1MVA, so there's at least 1000KVA in 1MW, but if the reactive power load is very high, there may be substantially more KVA.
Can direct current kW be converted to KVA?
With a dc system the kW are always equal to the kV times the amps. It's only with ac that the kW are usually less than the kVA by a factor called the power factor.
37 kilowatta equals how many kVA?
kva and kw are related as KVA = (KW/PF) pf:power factor
When using a resistive load bank to test a generator do you load it to the kW or the kVA?
When using a resistive load bank to test a generator, it does not matter if you load the generator to its kW or kVA rating, because those two numbers are the same when considering a resistive load. Power factor, which is the difference between true and apparent power, only comes into play when there is a reactive (inductive or capacitative) load.
How many kva is equal to 1 kw?
It depends on the power factor, which you did not specify. Power factor is the ratio of true vs apparent power. KVA * PF = KW. Please restate the question.
How many KVA is 12000btu?
12,000 BTU per hour is equal to 3.5 kW.
Why transformer rated in kva instead of kw?
KW is multiplication of KVA and power factor. Power factor is load dependent and varies as per the type of load. Hence the rating or capacity is mentioned in KVA not in KW
