A kva load in the text that you use it is the same as a wattage load. To find your answer just total up all of your appliance wattage's, portable and hard wired, in the unit and this will give you an idea of what you have for a load.

kva means 1000 x voltage x currentSo in order to determine the current we need to know the voltage.AnswerA kilovolt ampere (kV.A, not kva) is a measure of a circuit's apparent power, whereas the ampere(not amp) is a measure of current. These are two completely separate quantities, so your question is quite meaningless. You might have well have asked, "How metres are there in a kilogram of sugar?"
A typical 100 amp service is comparable to a 25 KVA generator. That said, very few homes pull that much load. Most utilities size their distribution systems for a 5 KVA load per home, assuming that not all homes would pull full load at the same time. RPM is a function of the number of poles in the generator. To get 60 Hz power with a two pole generator, you need 1,800 RPM.
A kilovolt ampere (kV.A) is used to measure the apparent power of a load, whereas the watt (W) is used to measure its true power. These two quantities are related through the power factor of the load, i.e. the cosine of the phase angle (the angle by which the load current leads or lags the supply voltage): true power = apparent power x power factorSo, as you can see, in order to answer your question, you need to know the power factor of the load. As power factor can vary between 0 and 1, the answer could be as low as zero watts to as high as 6.5 kilowatts.
To calculate the safe working load of a ship's bollard, you need the working stress and the force applied. These two will help you compute the safe working load.
Inverters and generators are not rated in BTU's (British Thermal Units). They are rated in KVA (Kilovolt amps) and KW's (Kilowatts). These two values are the product of amps times volts. KVA times PF (Power Factor) = KW.
