According to Wikipedia, all forms of power can be expressed in Watts, but typically one expresses only REAL Power in Watts (& Kilowatts).
The standard is to express Apparent Power in Volt-Amperes (VA) (& KVA).
The kilowatt is the unit of measure for true power; apparent power is measured in volt amperes.
However, the volt ampere and the reactive volt ampere (for reactive power) are traditional units, used to help differentiate between apparent, true, and reactive power. SI recognises the watt as the unit for each.

How many kVA equal kWh?
In case of unity Power factorOne Watt is = 1 Volt - Amp (from the formula P = I x E),One kilo Watt is a kilo Volt Amp.1 kW = 1 kVAFor PF = 0.8, 1 kVA = 0.8 kW
What unit is household electricity measured in?
watts or kilowatts are used to measure power, which is how quickly energy flows, and electrical energy is measured in kilowatt-hours. A kilowatt-hour is also known as a Unit of electrical energy, and it is the amount of energy used when a power of 1 kilowatt flows for 1 hour.
Relation between cc and kilowatt?
No relationship whatsoever. A 'cc', or cubic centimeter, is a unit of volume, while a kilowatt is a unit of power.
What is difference between Kilowatt power vs kilowatt hour?
Kilowatt is a measure of the rate of energy use. It is 1,000 Watts or 1,000 Joules per second. A kilowatt hour is 1,000 Joules per second for 3,600 seconds or 3,600,000 Joules. This means a Kilowatt hour not a rate but a measure of total energy used.
What is Kwatt?
A kW is a kilowatt. A way of measuring power. One kilowatt is equal to 1000 watts: 1kW = 1000W Kw is the ion product constant for water at 25°C which is 1.0x10^-14. (chemistry)
What is the difference between Kilovolt Ampere and Kilowatt?
A kilowatt is an unit of true power in an AC circuit -as measured by a wattmeter. A kilovolt ampere is an unit of apparent power in an AC circuit, which is the product of the voltage across a load by the current through it. The relationship between the two is: kilowatt = (kilovolt ampere) x (power factor of load)
How do i Convert 12.5kw to kva?
I believe a kilowatt and a kilovolt-amp are mathematically equivalent units, but they are used in different contexts. Watts are used when talking about average or instantaneous power or "true" power. Volt-amps are used when talking about Apparent power.
How do you convert power reading in kWh to kva?
These are two different values. kWh is the amount of kW that are used in an hour. To convert kW to kva use the same formula but leave out the pf (power factor) component.AnswerFirst of all your should realise that power is measured in watts (or kilowatts), not in kilowatt hours! A kilowatt hour is an unit of measurement for energy, or work done, NOT power! So your question doesn't actually make any sense!Furthermore, a kilovolt ampere is the unit of measurement for apparent power, and it should be written as 'kV.A', not 'kva'.So you cannot convert energy in kilowatt hours to apparent power in kilovolt amperes, as we are talking about two completely different quantities! It's like asking "How do you convert miles into kilometres per hour?" That's what I mean by your question not making any sense!The first answer needs correction, as the kilowatt hour is not 'the amount of kilowatts used in one hour'. You do not 'use' kilowatts, as kilowatts is simply a rate. So the correct definition is that a kilowatt hour is the amount of energy used in one hour, at the rate of one kilowatt.
How much is a wind power generator?
The cost of installing a home wind power generator depends on the kilowatt it produces. A 1 kilowatt wind power generator usually costs $3000-$7000. A 7 kilowatt wind power generator costs $20,000-$40,000. The more kilowatt it produces, the more costly it is.
What is power demand?
kilowatt demand ?
What are kw?
kW is kilowatt - a unit of power. 1 kilowatt is equal to 1000 watts: 1kW = 1000W
What is the difference between kilowatt hours and kilowats?
Kilowatts are a measure of electrical power. Kilowatt hours are a measure of how much electrical power has been used.
How many units of electric in a kilowatt?
Units of electricity as given on power bills are usually measured in kiloWatt hours. (kW.h) This is a kiloWatt of energy delivered for a period of an hour. It is a unit of power, and a kiloWatt is a measure of energy.
How many kVA equal kWh?
In case of unity Power factorOne Watt is = 1 Volt - Amp (from the formula P = I x E),One kilo Watt is a kilo Volt Amp.1 kW = 1 kVAFor PF = 0.8, 1 kVA = 0.8 kW
How to convert kva-kwh?
To convert from KVA (kilovoltamperes) to KWH (kilowatthours) first convert to KW (kilowatts) by multiplying by power factor. Power factor is the cosine of the phase angle between voltage and current. Then multiply by the number of hours that you run the load.
What is a unit of electrical power called?
A Kilowatt hour.
Power is measured in j per what?
Power is measured in Joules per Kilowatt.
