At a power factor of 0.8, an 8 kW load corresponds to 10 kVA. Real equipment may have varying power factor, and motor starting needs its own assessment.
The calculator uses one shared planning factor. Ask an engineer to assess measured loads, harmonic effects and transient requirements for the actual installation.
