๐ก How to Convert Watts to kVA
Formula
kVA = W / (PF ร 1,000)
Example: 5,000W at PF=0.85 โ kVA = 5,000 / (0.85 ร 1,000) = 5.88 kVA
Example: 5,000W at PF=0.85 โ kVA = 5,000 / (0.85 ร 1,000) = 5.88 kVA
When sizing a UPS, convert your total wattage to kVA to ensure the UPS can handle both the real and reactive power components.
