VAC means volts AC, and is a measure of the voltage in an AC circuit.

KVA means kilovolt-amperes, and is a measure of the power in a circuit. For a resistive load, KVA is the same as KW, or kilowatts.

The two terms are not related in that you can not compare one to another without also knowing the current flowing in the AC circuit. VAC * IAC = KVA, when all values are in RMS (not peak to neutral or peak to peak quantities).

kva (Killovolt-amperes) is the product of volts and amperes. There for there is no answer to this question since the units are not the same. Example: 1000 volts x 1 amperes = 1000va = 1kva. Also 500 volts x 2 amperes = 1000va = 1kva.

You have two devices that are rated at 230 VAC single ph and your supply voltage is 480 VAC 3 ph you need a 480 VAC 3 phase to 230 VAC three phase xfrmer how do you calculate the xfrmer size?

The transformer size is calculated by using the load current that is required on the secondary side of the transformer. This secondary current is multiplied by the secondary voltage times 1.73. This total is then divided by 1000 to give you KVA. KVA = I x E x 1.73/1000.

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.


What is kva formula?

KVA is very simple, it is the Volts x Amps of an AC circuit in units of 1000. For a single phase AC circuit VA = E x I. KVA = (ExI)/1000 So if you have 120 VAC and 15 A then: VA = 120 x 15 = 1800; KVA = 1800/1000 = 1.8 For 3 phase circuits we need to add the square of 3 (= 1.732) as a factor. VA = 1.732 x E x I and KVA = (1.732 x E x I)/1000 So if you have 480 VAC and 23 A then: VA = 1.732 x 480 x 23 = 19,121; KVA = 19,121/1000 = 19.1 Note that KVA is higher than KW (true power) in circuits that are not purely resistive. The vector difference of the two is "Power factor".
