The values you state are two different values. KVA is the value of voltage times amperage times 1000. The voltage value of 240 volts is just 240 volts. If you have an amperage it can be applied to the first equation to find the KVA value.

How many 240 volt 4.9 amp draw lights can be run on a 15 kva 2 phase transformer?

To calculate the number of lights that can be run on the transformer, use the formula: Power (kVA) = Voltage (V) x Current (A) x √2 x Number of Phases. Rearranging the formula: Number of lights = (Power (kVA) / (Voltage (V) x Current (A) x √2). Plugging in the values: 15 kVA / (240 V x 4.9 A x √2) ≈ 6 lights.


How many watts in a Kva?

A VA is a volt-ampere, or volt-amp, and a kilo (K) is one thousand. This makes a KVA a kilovolt-ampere, or kilovolt-amp. If we have 1,000 volt-amps, and one volt times one amp is equal to one watt (W), which it is, 1,000 volt-amps is equal to 1,000 watts, or 1 KW. All that said, 1 KVA is equal to 1 KW.Sometimes in an ac system, the watts is less than the volts times the amps, and in that case the watts is equal to the volts times the amps times the power factor. The power factor is less than one. The power factor for a typical electric motor is 0.7, so then there are only 700 watts in a kVA.


How many KVa is 5600 watts with the pf of 0.95?

There are ~5.9 kVA with 5600 watts and a power factor of 0.95. power factor is defined as the real power (watts) divided by the complex power (volt amperes): .95 = 5600/VA VA = 5600/.95 = 5894.7VA = 5.89kVA


What is 70 kVA?

70 kVA stands for 70 kilovolt-amperes, which is a unit used to measure electrical power. It represents the apparent power in an electrical system, combining both the active (real) power and the reactive power.


How many kilowatts in 1kva?

Its a bit of a trick question. 1 watt is one volt-amp except in situations where the power factor has increased or decreased that ratio. For instance with a power factor of .8 a volt-amp is equal to .8 watts. So with a perfect power factor 1 kva (kilo-volt-amp) is equal to 1 kilowatt. But if the power factor is something other then 1 you can find it by pf*w=va.

What is is kva?

kVA is kilo-volt-ampere, which is 1000 x volt x ampere. kVA is the unit of apparent power in AC circuits.


What is meant by the KVA rating?

The symbol, kV.A (not 'KVA'!) represents 'kilovolt amperes', and is a multiple of the volt ampere, used to measure the apparent power of an a.c. circuit, that is the product of supply voltage and load current.Apparent power (expressed in volt amperes) is the vectorial sum of a load's true power (expressed in watts) and its reactive power (expressed in reactive volt amperes).


What size of cable wire used for 500 kva transformer 240 volt 3 phase?

A 10 mm cable is most commonly used for a 500 KVA transformer, 240 volt, 3 phrase. The size of the wire that is used in a transformer is based on the voltage.


Does a transformer convert the current from 240 volts to 120 volt?

Transformers are rated in KVA or VA (volt-amps). They transform voltages from one value to another. The current in a transformer is inverse to the voltage. This is why transformers are rated in KVA and smaller ones in VA.


What is the conversion of KV to KVA?

These are two incompatible units. Ignoring the kilo- prefix (1000), we have V (Volts) and VA (Volt-Amps). VA is a rating of power, typically on transformers and related equipment. So while you cannot _convert_ from KV to KVA, you can calculate one from the other. For example, a 240V transformer rated to supply 100A of current would be a (240*100 = 24000) 24kVA transformer. Power = Volts * Amps.


How many 240 volt 4.9 amp draw lights can be run on a 15 kva 2 phase transformer?

To calculate the number of lights that can be run on the transformer, use the formula: Power (kVA) = Voltage (V) x Current (A) x √2 x Number of Phases. Rearranging the formula: Number of lights = (Power (kVA) / (Voltage (V) x Current (A) x √2). Plugging in the values: 15 kVA / (240 V x 4.9 A x √2) ≈ 6 lights.


What is the rating in KVA for a desktop computer?

If a device doesn't give its power rating in kVA (or VA), then it can be calculated pretty easily: (volt-amperes) VA = V (voltage) x A (maximum amperage) (kilovolt-amperes) kVA = VA (volt-amperes) / 1000

Convert kw single phase to 3 phase kva?

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.


Why maximum demand rating is not expressed in kw?

maximum demand is measured in kva because current drawn is dependent on power factor for the same load and current drawn is calculated with kva
