How to convert VA to kVA
How to convert apparent power from volt-amps (VA) to kilovolt-amps (kVA).
Volt-amps to kVA calculation formula
The apparent power S in kilovolt-amps (kVA) is equal to the apparent power S in volt-amps (VA), divided by 1000:
S(kVA) = S(VA) / 1000
So kilovolt-amps are equal to volt-amps divided by 1000:
kilovolt-amps = volt-amps / 1000
or
kVA = VA / 1000
Example
What is the apparent power in kilovolt-amps when the apparent power in volt-amps is 3000VA?
Solution:
S = 3000VA / 1000 = 3kVA
