In electrivity,
KW can be converted to KVA with the help of power factor('phi'- greek symbol)
Power Factor is a value dependent on phi.
It can only lie between +0 to +1
Formula:
(X) KVA = P.F x (X) KW.
For an ideal system
1 KVA = 1 KW.......P.F = 1
For practical System
Power in KVA = Power Factor x Power in KW.
Generally a system with non-mechnical parts (eg. Solar) gives 0.95
1 tone = 1540 Watts=1.540 KW. whereas 1 KW=1.25 KVA. I think you have got the answer.
kva and kw are related as KVA = (KW/PF) pf:power factor
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.
kva*cos(phase angle)
P=1.73xVxIxCOSO KVA=KW/1.73xCOSO KVA=2000/1.4 KVA=1.42
The KVAR will be 1249.75, the power factor is .7. KVAR = sqrt [ KVA^2 - kW^2 ]
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.
5kw = 6.25 kva becoz kva = kw/ pf if we take pf is o.8
12HP is approximately 10.8 KVA. You would want to use a 15KVA transformer to supply this motor. KW = HP * .75 KVA = KW * 1.2 (These formulas are approximate)
the unit of generators power is KVA becoze the kva is the power that contain the active power (KW) and the reactive power mean that the name plate of any generator must contain the rated kva of it (like the transformer P (KW) = P (kva) * cos fi P (KW) = V I cos fi for single phase P (KVA) = V I when cos fi closed to 1 this will increase the useful power that exit from the generator or transformer with my pleasure
