Formulas Used
I = P / (V × PF)Single-phase AC — multiply voltage by power factor.
I = P / (√3 × V × PF)Three-phase AC — divide by √3 ≈ 1.732.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert kW to amps?
DC: A = (kW x 1000) / V. Single-phase AC: A = (kW x 1000) / (V x PF). Three-phase AC: A = (kW x 1000) / (1.732 x V x PF).
What is 10 kW in amps at 230V single phase?
10,000 / (230 x 0.9) = 48.31 A at PF 0.9. At PF 1.0: 10,000 / 230 = 43.48 A.
