What is the difference between kW and kVa? The primary difference between kW (kilowatt) and kVA (kilovolt-ampere) is the power factor. kW is the unit of real power and kVA is a unit of apparent power (or real power plus re-active power).
In very simple terms kVA is what is being produced by the generator and watts is what is being used. If your generators output is rated in kVA then you need to multiply it by 0.8 to convert to watts. So a 2 kVA generator will have an actual wattage output of 1600 watts. (2.0 x .8 = 1.6). You also need to see if this is itâs peak output as opposed to itâs continuous rating. It is the continuous rating that that you need to know. This 2.0 kVA generator may have a continuous rating of 1.8 kVA. Converting that to watts (1.8 x 0.8 = 1.440) and we have and we 1440 watts. A long cry from the figure boldly written on the generator.
