Formula & Calculation Steps:
VA = (kW × 1000) / PF
Converting kW to VA
Kilowatts (kW) indicate real working power, while Volt-Amperes (VA) represent apparent power. The conversion requires multiplying kW by 1000 to get Watts, and then dividing by the circuit's Power Factor.
$$ S_{(VA)} = \frac{1000 \times P_{(kW)}}{PF} $$
Apparent power in VA is (1000 times Real Power in kW) divided by Power Factor.
