Volt-amps (VA) to watts (W) conversion calculator.
Enter apparent power in volt-amps (VA) and power factor (PF) and press the Calculate button to get the real power in watts (W).
W
Many electronics devices mention VA as their rated power, which people confuse it with watts and complains that device is incapable to handle the mentioned load.
But the fact is there is a Power Factor (PF) which help us define what would be real watts a machine and electric device can handle based on mentioned VA. To obtain the PF is a device, check its manual or specification section.
Usually most of the device like power backup inverters, solar inverters, and UPS have 0.80 (80%) PF. Some efficient ones have 0.84 (84%) PF. But for masses 0.80 is the correct PF for calculating the efficiencies of all kind inverters and UPS.
Based on my all research of different brands like Luminous, Microtek, etc. Here is a short table that specifies what would be Watts of different VA inverters.
| Inverter VA | Inverter Watts |
|---|---|
| 100 VA | 80 Watts |
| 200 VA | 160 Watts |
| 300 VA | 240 Watts |
| 400 VA | 320 Watts |
| 500 VA | 400 Watts |
| 600 VA | 480 Watts |
| 700 VA | 560 Watts |
| 800 VA | 640 Watts |
| 900 VA | 720 Watts |
| 1000 VA | 800 Watts |
| 1100 VA | 880 Watts |
| 1200 VA | 960 Watts |
| 1300 VA | 1040 Watts |
| 1400 VA | 1120 Watts |
| 1500 VA | 1200 Watts |
| 1600 VA | 1280 Watts |
| 1700 VA | 1360 Watts |
| 1800 VA | 1440 Watts |
