Watt and Ampere Calculator
Apparent Power Converter

kVA to Amps Calculator

Convert apparent power in kVA to current in amps. Generator and UPS ratings are often stated in kVA. No power factor is needed — kVA is already apparent power. The formula is simply A = (kVA x 1000) / V.

Formulas Used

DCI = P / V

No power factor needed for DC circuits.

AC 1φI = P / (V × PF)

Single-phase AC — multiply voltage by power factor.

AC 3φI = P / (√3 × V × PF)

Three-phase AC — divide by √3 ≈ 1.732.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert kVA to amps?

Single-phase: A = (kVA x 1000) / V. Three-phase: A = (kVA x 1000) / (1.732 x V). Note: kVA to amps does not require power factor.

What is 10 kVA in amps at 230V?

Single-phase: (10 x 1000) / 230 = 43.48 A. Three-phase at 400V: (10 x 1000) / (1.732 x 400) = 14.43 A.
