What it calculates

The “Apparent Power (S)” calculator computes S (apparent power) in kVA from 2 parameters: p, kw, q, kvar.

A standard physics formula used in educational and engineering tasks.

Example calculation

With parameters P, kW = 10, Q, kvar = 8 the result is 12.81 kVA (S = √(P² + Q²)).
