Calculate kilowatts from kilovolt-amps using power factor.
Use the power factor selector to complete the calculation.
PF 0.60 is often used for older motors and inductive loads.
PF 0.80 is commonly used as a general industrial estimate.
PF 0.90 is common for modern commercial equipment.
PF 0.95 is often used for efficient systems with correction.
PF 1.00 represents a purely resistive load.
kW = kVA × Power Factor
| kVA | kW at 120V |
