kW and kVA are units of power. kW stands for kilo-watts and kVA stands for kilo-volts ampere. Let’s see what is the difference between kW and kVA and how to calculate each one of them. The key differences between kW and kVA kW – Kilowatts kVA – Kilo-volt amperes It is the unit of electric … Read more
kVA stands for kilo volt-amperes. It is basically the unit of apparent power and is the product of RMS values of voltage and current. One kVA is 1000 volt – amperes Apparent power Apparent power is the actual amount of power drawn from the source. It includes both true power and reactive power. Apparent power … Read more
Before reading about electric power it is essential to have a basic idea about power. The word power is a little tricky to understand. Consider that you are riding a bicycle at a speed of 20km/hr for an hour. A certain amount of work is done by you here. The amount of work done by … Read more
Anyone who uses electricity and has heard of term: single-phase and three Phase, maybe trying to understand the difference between them. This article narrates the differences between a single-phase power supply and a three-phase power supply. What is meant by phase? Before getting into our topic, it is essential to understand the term phase. The … Read more
In an AC power system, the power factor is a very important parameter that defines how efficiently electrical power is being utilized by the load. It is a rational number between -1 and 1 but has no unit. The p.f of a system depends on the type of load present, whether resistive, inductive, or capacitive. … Read more
