The power factor plays a crucial role in understanding the relationship between kW and kVA. It measures how effectively electrical power is being converted into useful work. A power factor of 1 means all the power is being used efficiently, while a lower power factor indicates inefficiencies. For example, if a device has a power factor of 0.7, it means only 70% of the apparent power (kVA) is being converted into real power (kW).
