I can't remember any and can't be arsed to look them up. Can anyone tell me in watts what a peak demand of 4501 KVA on a three phase supply is please. I get 2.5million watts which can't be the maximum power we drew last month.

thanks

great, I doubt we were pullling 3,825,000 watts of power at any time.

crippling the electricity company are we Rob?

The only difference between kW and kVA is the power factor. Once again, the power factor, unless known, is an approximation. For purposes of our calculations, we use a power factor of .85. The kVA value is always higher than the value for kW.

kW to kVA kW / .85 = SAME VALUE EXPRESSED IN kVA
kVA TO kW kVA * .85 = SAME VALUE EXPRESSED IN kW

Therefore 4501 x .85 assuming power factoer of 0.85

=
3825.85 KW

Probably keeping the electric company going

Now comes the fun part tomorrow when I query our electricity bill of £20,000 with some inbred on their phone system, and try and explain why we couldn't possibly have drawn that much power at any one time.

next up - does anyone have any examples of something that might draw that much power -

EG 'no you fool, I know thats what the bill says but it can't be right because Pittordrie doesn't draw that much power during a night match with all the floodlights on. YOU FUCKING INBRED'

or equivalent
