How many Watts does 2.0 kVA correspond to?
Answer:
For DC application: 2.0 kVA = 2.0 kW or 2000 watts.
For AC equipment, it depends on the power factor (PF)
kVA x PF = kW.
kW x 1000 = watts.
Resistance type loads have a power factor near 1.00,
so 2.0 kVA = 2.0 kW or 2000 watts.
Motors may have a power factor closer to 0.85.
In that case 2.0 kVA x 0.85 = 1.7 kW or 1700 watts.
I've seen equipment with power factors as low as 0.48.
In those applications, 2.0 kVA x 0.48 = 0.96 kW or 960 watts.
Please update your question with a description of the equipment and I'll provide an estimated power factor.
2.0kVA=2.0kWatts=2000watts
Thomas C is right!
VA is called Real Power. There are also Watt (Resistive power) and VAR (Reactive Power).
