Example of VA to Amps Calculations

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

Amps=VA/Volts×Power Factor

Assuming a common voltage of 240V and a power factor of 0.8 for these calculations.
