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

To convert 100 VA to amps at 240V with a power factor of 0.8:
Amps=100/240×0.8≈0.52 A
To convert 250 VA to amps at 240V with a power factor of 0.8:
Amps=250/240×0.8≈1.30 A
To convert 500 VA to amps at 240V with a power factor of 0.8:
Amps=500/240×0.8≈2.60 A
