kW to Current Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Current from kW (Ikw):

\[ Ikw = \frac{KW \times 1000}{V} \]

Where:

\(Ikw\) is the current from kW (amps)
\(KW\) is the total kilowatts (kW)
\(V\) is the total voltage (volts)

What is Current from kW?

The current from kW refers to the amount of electrical current (in amps) that corresponds to a given power output (in kilowatts) at a specific voltage. This calculation is essential for understanding the electrical load and ensuring that circuits and components are appropriately rated.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Total Kilowatts (KW) = 5 kW
Total Voltage (V) = 230 volts

Using the formula:

\[ Ikw = \frac{5 \times 1000}{230} = 21.73913 \]

The current from kW is 21.73913 amps.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Total Kilowatts (KW) = 10 kW
Total Voltage (V) = 120 volts

Using the formula:

\[ Ikw = \frac{10 \times 1000}{120} = 83.33333 \]

The current from kW is 83.33333 amps.
