Relation in between KWH & KVAH for Electrical consumption
unit & how we can relate if KWH is lower than KVAH

Answer Posted / badhehm

kVA is apparent power
kW is real power

The relationship between the two is known as the power factor. This applies to AC circuits.

kVAh and kWh are energy measurements over time. (I believe your kWAH is a typo)

Most US utilities still bill customers in kW. However if the customer has a poor power factor, the kVA load can be substantially higher. This causes the utility to install larger equipment and incur higher losses in the process of delivering power to the customer.
