Example of KVA to Amps Calculations

To convert kilovolt-amperes (kVA) to amperes (A), you need to know the voltage (V) and the power factor (PF) of the load. The formula to convert kVA to amps is:

Amps = (kVA × 1000) / (Volts × Power Factor)

Assuming a common power factor of 0.8 for these calculations.

Table of kVA to Amps Conversions

Below is a table showing the conversion of various kilovolt-amperes values to amperes sorted from smallest to largest, assuming a voltage of 240V and a power factor of 0.8.

kVA	Voltage (V)	Power Factor (PF)	Amps
1	240	0.8	5.21
5	240	0.8	26.04
10	240	0.8	52.08
20	240	0.8	104.17
50	240	0.8	260.42
100	240	0.8	520.83
200	240	0.8	1041.67
300	240	0.8	1562.5
400	240	0.8	2083.33

Convert 1 kVA to Amps

To convert 1 kVA to amps at 240V with a power factor of 0.8:

Amps = (1 × 1000) / (240 × 0.8) = 5.21 Amps

Convert 100 kVA to Amps

To convert 100 kVA to amps at 240V with a power factor of 0.8:

Amps = (100 × 1000) / (240 × 0.8) = 520.83 Amps

Convert 600 kVA to Amps

To convert 600 kVA to amps at 240V with a power factor of 0.8:

Amps = (600 × 1000) / (240 × 0.8) = 3125 Amps
