GS / CALCULATOR
kW / kVA calculator
Convert real and apparent power using your power factor.
Start calculating
GS / INPUTS
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
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.
