Umba wamandla (PF) ngumlinganiselo wamandla okusebenza, alinganiswa ngeekilowathi (kW), ukuya kumandla abonakalayo, alinganiswa ngekhilovolti amperes (kVA). Amandla abonakalayo, okwakwaziwa ngokuba yimfuno, ngumlinganiselo wobungakanani bamandla asetyenziswayo ukuqhuba oomatshini kunye nezixhobo ngexesha elithile. Ifunyanwa ngokuphindaphinda (kVA = V x A)
