Converting kilovolt-amperes (kVA) to watts (W) is essential for understanding the real power consumption of electrical devices. The formula to perform this conversion is: P(W) = 1000 × S(kVA) × PF, where P represents power in watts, S denotes apparent power in kilovolt-amperes, and PF stands for the power factor. The power factor, a value between 0 and 1, indicates the efficiency of the electrical system. For instance, to convert 5 kVA with a power factor of 0.8 to watts, the calculation would be: P(W) = 1000 × 5 kVA × 0.8, resulting in 4000 W. Accurate conversion from kVA to watts is crucial for sizing electrical equipment and ensuring optimal performance.
