Volts to Kilowatts Calculator

What is a Volts to Kilowatts Calculator?

A Volts to Kilowatts Calculator is a tool that converts voltage and current to power in kilowatts, taking into account the power factor. It helps in understanding the relationship between voltage, current, and power in electrical systems.

The Formula

The formula for converting volts to kilowatts is:

\[P (kW) = \frac{V \times I \times PF}{1000}\]

Where:

• P is power in kilowatts (kW)
• V is voltage in volts (V)
• I is current in amperes (A)
• PF is the power factor (dimensionless, between 0 and 1)

Power Triangle

The power triangle visually represents the relationship between apparent power (S), real power (P), and reactive power (Q):

In this triangle:

• The hypotenuse represents apparent power (S)
• The adjacent side represents real power (P)
• The opposite side represents reactive power (Q)
• The angle θ is the phase angle between voltage and current
• The cosine of θ is the power factor
