kVA from Amps Calculator





Formula

To calculate kVA from Amps:

\[ kVA = \frac{I \times V}{1000} \]

What is kVA?

kVA (kilo-volt-amps) is a unit of apparent power in an electrical circuit. It is used to measure the total power in a circuit, including both real power (measured in kilowatts) and reactive power (measured in kilovolt-amperes reactive). The kVA rating is important for determining the capacity of electrical equipment such as transformers and generators.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Step 1: Multiply the current by the voltage:

\[ I \times V = 50 \times 240 = 12000 \]

Step 2: Divide the result by 1000:

\[ kVA = \frac{12000}{1000} = 12 \text{ kVA} \]

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Step 1: Multiply the current by the voltage:

\[ I \times V = 100 \times 480 = 48000 \]

Step 2: Divide the result by 1000:

\[ kVA = \frac{48000}{1000} = 48 \text{ kVA} \]
