On an electric bill, kVA stands for "kilovolt-ampere", which is a unit of apparent power. It measures the total electrical power, both real and reactive, that is consumed by a device or a facility.
It represents the maximum power that the electrical system can support and is used by utilities to determine the capacity requirements for supplying electricity to a customer. The actual power consumption in kilowatts (kW) is often lower than the apparent power in kVA due to the presence of reactive elements, such as inductive loads, which cause the power factor to be less than 1.

∙ 10y agoKVa simply means Kilo-Volt amperes is a unit of electrical measurement.
The kilovolt-amps passing along an AC supply are found by multiplying the voltage in kV by the current in amps.

Is 10 kva supply to 3 phase load is equal to 10kva supply to single phase load?
Yes of course!! 10 kva electrical power is 10 kva electrical power either it would be three phase or single phase. But other factors i.e. current, voltage changes accordingly. Actually this question is quit confusable. Because in 3phase system, if each phase gives 10kva power (single phase power = 10 kva) then 3 phase power will be 10 X 3 = 30 Kva If we go leteratualy towasrds the question, then the asnwer will be - No. becasue 10 kva supply to 3 phase load will be 3phase supply(i.e440V) & 10kva supply to single phase load will be single supply (i.e 250V).
What is a 1035 VA in KVA?
1.035 KVA
If generator is 635 KVA what is alternator KVA rating?
635kva
How do you convert single phase kva to three phase kva?
Va=volts x amps. The K stands for one thousand. So 1 Kva is one thousand watts. So 415v times 120a= 49,800 what's. You divide that by a thousand and you get 49.8. So it would be 49.8 Kva.
What is 225 KVA in amps?
KVA is a measure of power, while amp (or ampere) is a measure of current. KVA meanes kiloVoltAmps. 1 kVA = 1000 V*A. so 225 KVA = 225,000 VA (volts * amperes) So you would need to also know the voltage, in order to find the amperes.
Why alternator rating in KVA?
as while designing alternator we have to consider two ckt. i.e. electrical ckt.& magnetic ckt. and electrical ckt.is designing by considering current & magnetic by volt.thats why rating is 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.
What is 10 kVA?
kVA stands for Kilo(means a thousand) Volt Amperes. It's a kind of capacity rating for how much electrical power something can either deliver or needs.
What kva comes into a house?
KVA is the abbreviation for kilo-volt-amp, or kilo-watt (volts x amps = watts) Your KVA is you amps used multiplied by 240 ( number of volts in the electrical service for your house) example: if your home draws 500 amps you are consuming you would be drawing 120,000 VA or 120 KVA. That help?
What are the 4 typical metering requirements for a small industrial electrical installation?
maximum demand, energy, kva rating, and power factor

Convert 2KW to KVA in single phase?
P=1.73xVxIxCOSO KVA=KW/1.73xCOSO KVA=2000/1.4 KVA=1.42
What is a 1035 VA in KVA?
1.035 KVA
How can you find watts from kva?
a VA is basically equivalent to a watt for most purposes so a KVA being 1000 VA, a KVA is basically 1000 W.However, 1 KVA = 1KW only holds true for resistive loads. If an AC power supply is running a motor or other very inductive load, KVA can be significantly higher than the power being used by the motor.The theory and mathematics of inductive loads are too complex to describe here but knowledge of inductive loads on AC supplies is one of the fundamentals of electrical engineering
What is the maximum electrical load 25 kva single phase 220 v 113 amp can supply?
If a device has a rating of 25KVA, it can deliver only 25KVA
What is the min-max kva for an IBM 5094 and an IBM 5294?
min: 0.5 KVA MAX: 1.5 KVA
37 kilowatta equals how many kVA?
kva and kw are related as KVA = (KW/PF) pf:power factor
