Compare load power with nameplate capacity

Enter kW or kVA and the load power factor from its nameplate or datasheet. Avoid assuming the same power factor for every device.

Inputs

Result125 kVA

Calculation method

kVA = kW ÷ PF · kW = kVA × PF

Interpreting the result

Apparent power depends on power factor. Unit conversion alone does not establish motor starting capacity or available power under site conditions.

The result is an initial estimate based on your inputs. Check equipment nameplates, manufacturer data, installation conditions and project requirements before final selection.
