How to convert amps to kVA

How to convert electric current in amps (A) to apparent power in kilovolt-amps (kVA).

You can calculate kilovolt-amps from amps and volts, but you can't convert amps to kilovolt-amps since kilovolt-amps and amps units do not measure the same quantity.

Single phase amps to kVA calculation formula

The apparent power S in kilovolt-amps is equal to phase current I in amps, times the RMS voltage V in volts, divided by 1000:

S(kVA) = I(A) × V(V) / 1000

So kilovolt-amps are equal to amps times volts divided by 1000.

kilovolt-amps = amps × volts / 1000

or

kVA = A ⋅ V / 1000

Example 1

What is the apparent power in kVA when the phase current is 10A and the RMS voltage supply is 110V?

Solution:

S = 10A × 110V / 1000 = 1.1kVA

Example 2

What is the apparent power in kVA when the phase current is 14A and the RMS voltage supply is 110V?

Solution:

S = 14A × 110V / 1000 = 1.54kVA

Example 3

What is the apparent power in kVA when the phase current is 50A and the RMS voltage supply is 110V?

Solution:

S = 50A × 110V / 1000 = 5.5kVA

3 phase amps to kVA calculation formula

Calculation with line to line voltage

The apparent power S in kilovolt-amps (with balanced loads) is equal to square root of 3 times the phase current I in amps, times the line to line RMS voltage VL-L in volts, divided by 1000:

S(kVA) = 3 × I(A) × VL-L(V) / 1000

So kilovolt-amps are equal to 3 times amps times volts divided by 1000.

kilovolt-amps = 3 × amps × volts / 1000

or

kVA = 3 × A ⋅ V / 1000

Example 1

What is the apparent power in kVA when the phase current is 10A and the line to line RMS voltage supply is 190V?

Solution:

S = 3 × 10A × 190V / 1000 = 3.291kVA

Example 2

What is the apparent power in kVA when the phase current is 50A and the line to line RMS voltage supply is 190V?

Solution:

S = 3 × 50A × 190V / 1000 = 16.454kVA

Example 3

What is the apparent power in kVA when the phase current is 100A and the line to line RMS voltage supply is 190V?

Solution:

S = 3 × 100A × 190V / 1000 = 32.909kVA

 

Calculation with line to neutral voltage

The apparent power S in kilovolt-amps (with balanced loads) is equal to 3 times the phase current I in amps, times the line to neutral RMS voltage VL-N in volts, divided by 1000:

S(kVA) = 3 × I(A) × VL-N(V) / 1000

So kilovolt-amps are equal to 3 times amps times volts divided by 1000.

kilovolt-amps = 3 × amps × volts / 1000

or

kVA = 3 × A ⋅ V / 1000

Example 1

What is the apparent power in kVA when the phase current is 10A and the line to neutral RMS voltage supply is 120V?

Solution:

S = 3 × 10A × 120V / 1000 = 3.6kVA

Example 2

What is the apparent power in kVA when the phase current is 50A and the line to neutral RMS voltage supply is 120V?

Solution:

S = 3 × 50A × 120V / 1000 = 18kVA

Example 3

What is the apparent power in kVA when the phase current is 100A and the line to neutral RMS voltage supply is 120V?

Solution:

S = 3 × 100A × 120V / 1000 = 36kVA

How many amps can a 50 kVA transformer handle?

A 50 kVA transformer can handle about 120.28 amps at 240 volt 3-phase. To calculate that value, we:

Convert 50 kVA to 50,000 VA by first multiplying 50 kVA by 1,000.
Then divide 50,000 VA by 240 volts to get 208.333 amps.
Finally, we divide 208.333 amperes by 3 or 1.73205 to get 120.28 amperes.

How do I convert amps to kVA?

To convert amps to kVA in a single-phase power system, you can use the formula S = I × V / 1000 where amperage (I) is in amperes, voltage (V) is in volts, and the resulting apparent power ( s) is in kilovolt-amperes or kVA. On the other hand, for a 3-phase system, you can use S = I × V × 3/1000 for line-to-line voltage and S = I × V × 3/1000 for line-to-neutral voltage. can.

How many kVA is 30 amps?

The electrical system pulling 30 amps at 220 V results in 11.43 kVA of apparent power. We can calculate that by multiplying 30 amps by 3 or 1.73205 to get 51.96152 amps. After that, we multiply our product by 220 V to get 11,431.53 VA. By dividing our final product by 1,000, or moving its decimal point three steps to the left, we arrive at our final answer of 11.43 kVA.

How to Convert Amps to Milliamps (A to mA) There are 1000 milliamps in 1 amp, just like there are 1000 milliamps in 1 meter. So, to convert amps to milliamps, One kVA is only 1,000 volt amperes. Volt is electric pressure. An amp is electric current. A term called apparent power (the absolute value of complex power, S) is equal to the product of volts and amps.
