kva*cos(phase angle)
The same way, as you convert Appels to Carrots ........... There is a formula: KVAr = KVA / KW or cos=KW/KVA > Yes, we are treating KW, KVA, & KVAr as the 3 sides in a 90 deg TRIANGLE ! KW= vertical katede KVAr = horizontal katede KVA = hypotenuse
Multiply by Amps.
kVA = kW divided by (power factor). The power factor is the cosine of the angle between voltage and current.
P=1.73xVxIxCOSO KVA=KW/1.73xCOSO KVA=2000/1.4 KVA=1.42
5kw = 6.25 kva becoz kva = kw/ pf if we take pf is o.8
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.
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.
To convert 'kwh' to 'kvah' you first need to measure the length of time. You will then convert this amount to hours by dividing by 3,600. You will then divide this amount by the length of time.
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.
kva and kw are related as KVA = (KW/PF) pf:power factor
Because it is the current rating of the windings that determine the maxium load current, and the product of rated current and rated voltage, in a.c., is apparent power (in volt amperes), nottrue power (in watts).And, incidentally, the correct symbols are kV.A and kW, not kva and kw.
Transformer power is given by P=V*I which takes the unit of KVA while that of KW has energy term which is not produced by the transformer.It only steps up or down the voltage.Answer:In a pure D.C. circuit, KW = KVA. However, in any A.C. circuit, there is real power {KW} and apparent power {KVA}, due to the voltage and current being out of phase. Power Factor is the ratio of KW to KVA. Transformers are rated in both KVA and PF. Multiplying the transformer KVA rating times the PF will yield KW.A transformer has separate ratings for maximum voltage and maximum current. Multiply the two together and that is called the VA rating, or kVA for larger transformers. So the transformer rating is independent of the power factor of the load.
