How to Convert horsepower to kva? what is the three phase formula? explain me if u can Example..i..

Answer / anil

1 L.Current xL.Volts x1.732 = KVA =
KW = HPX746
1000 PF
1000XEfficiencyxPF

2 L.Current xL.Volts x1.732XEfficiencyXPF =
KVAX1000XEfficiencyXPF = KWx 1000
xEfficiency = HP

746 746 746

When KVA know When KW know
When HP know
3 L.Current = KVAX1000 = KWx
1000 = HPX746

L.VoltsX1.732
L.VoltsX1.732XPF
LVoltageX1.732XEfficiencyXPF
