In the case of DC, and in AC when current and voltage are in phase, a volt-ampere is the same as a watt (and therefore, a kilo-volt-ampere is the same as a kW). In the case of AC, when current and voltage are NOT in phase, power = voltage x current x power factor; the power factor is the cosine of the angle between current and voltage, and it is always less than or equal to one. In such a case, a kVA would be less than a kW.

200 amp equals how much kva?

200 amps is equal to zero kva. To answer this question a voltage is needed.


What does 7.5 amps equal in in kva?

It equals zero without a voltage.


How can you find watts from kva?

a VA is basically equivalent to a watt for most purposes so a KVA being 1000 VA, a KVA is basically 1000 W.However, 1 KVA = 1KW only holds true for resistive loads. If an AC power supply is running a motor or other very inductive load, KVA can be significantly higher than the power being used by the motor.The theory and mathematics of inductive loads are too complex to describe here but knowledge of inductive loads on AC supplies is one of the fundamentals of electrical engineering


Two and an half kva equals how many ampere?

2.5 kVA means 2500 VA (volt-ampere). To calculate the amperes you need the voltage. 2.5 kVA x cos (phi) = 2.5 kW (kilowatts) if phi is 0 or power factor (phi) is unity.


Which line has a greater slope y equals 3x or x equals 3y?

y equals 3x has the greater slope.


Difference between two part tariff and three part tariff?

1.two part tariff= maximum demand+energy consumption (150 kva + any greater than 150 kva consumption) 2.three part tariff=maximum demand+energy consumption+ any energy charge (150 kva + any greater than 150 kva consumption + out source any energy charge ) unlimited usage of tariff is nothing but three part tariff


Which is greater -2 or 12 using equals?

Not sure what "using equals" means, but 12 is greater.


For 1KW electricity does 240V or 120V cost less?

Power = Volts x Amps. Hence 1kW is irrelevant of voltage.
