How to convert real power in watts (W) to apparent power in volt-amps (VA).
So The apparent power S in volt-amps (VA) is equal to the real power P in watts (W), divided by the power factor PF.
S(VA) = P(W) / PF
So volt-amps are equal to watts divided by the power factor.
volt-amps = watts / PF
or
VA = W / PF
What is the apparent power in volt-amps when the real power is 2000W and the power factor is 0.8?
Solution:
S = 2000W / 0.8 = 2500VA
What is the apparent power in volt-amps when the real power is 4000W and the power factor is 0.8?
Solution:
S = 4000W / 0.8 = 5000VA
What is the apparent power in volt-amps when the real power is 7000W and the power factor is 0.8?
Solution:
S = 7000W / 0.8 = 8750VA
What is the apparent power in volt-amps when the real power is 10000W and the power factor is 0.8?
Solution:
S = 10000W / 0.8 = 12500VA
