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
