Example of Amps to kVA Calculations
To convert amperes (A) to kilovolt-amperes (kVA), you need to know the voltage (V) and the power factor (PF) of the load. The formula to convert amps to kVA is:
kVA=Amps×Volts/1000×Power Factor
Assuming a common voltage of 240V and a power factor of 0.8 for these calculations.
