Kilowatts to Amps Formulas

DC kilowatts to amps:

I(A) = 1000 × P(kW) / V(V)

AC single phase kilowatts to amps:

I(A) = 1000 × P(kW) / (PF × V(V))

AC three phase kilowatts to amps:

I(A) = 1000 × P(kW) / (√3 × PF × VL-L(V))

How to Convert Kilowatts to Amps

To convert kilowatts to amps, follow these steps:

  1. Select the current type (DC, AC Single Phase, or AC Three Phase)
  2. Enter the power in kilowatts
  3. Enter the voltage in volts
  4. For AC circuits, enter the power factor (typically between 0 and 1)
  5. Click "Calculate" to get the current in amps
  6. Use "Reset" to clear all inputs and results

Common Power Factor Values

Device Typical Power Factor
Resistive load (incandescent lights, heaters) 1.0
Fluorescent lighting 0.95
Induction motors (loaded) 0.85
Induction motors (no load) 0.35
