To convert from KVA (kilovoltamperes) to KWH (kilowatthours) first convert to KW (kilowatts) by multiplying by power factor. Power factor is the cosine of the phase angle between voltage and current. Then multiply by the number of hours that you run the load.

The kilovolt ampere (kV.A, not 'kva') is the unit of measurement for apparent power. The kilowatt (kW, not 'kw') is the unit of measurement for true power.

The relationship between these two quantities is: true power = apparent power x power factor
