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

Convert 800kvar to kw?

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

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.

1 12hp motor takes what kva?

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)


Which is to consider in sizing generator kva or kw ratins?

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
