What is the difference between KW & KVA ? ..

Answer / sajid hussain

kw is the true power which is consumed in the circuit while the KVA is the product of rms value of the voltage and current
known as apparent power.
Kw= v*i*cosA/1000 1- Phase
Kw= Sqrt3*v*i*cosA/1000 3- Phase
KVA = KW/CosA
KVA=VA/1000
Here Cos A = Power factor

What is the difference between KW & KVA ? ..

Answer / shailesh n. narayane

KW=VIcosine of p.f.angle=Active power
KVA=VI=Apparent power
KVAR=VI sine of p.f. nagle

VIcosine of p.f.angle
So p.f.= _______________________
Apparent power

What is the difference between KW & KVA ? ..

Answer / arulkumaran

KW = POWER FACTOR CONSUMED,
(E.G) Electrical loads, Generator.
KVA = NOT CONSUMED THE POWER FACTOR,
(E.G) Transformer.

KVA = KW / Power factor.
