Kilowatts to Amps conversion

Kilowatts (kW) to Amps (A) electric charge conversion calculator and how to convert.

Select current type, enter current in amps, voltage in volts, power factor for AC circuit and press the Calculate button:

kW
V
A

DC Kilowatts to Amps calculation

The current I in amps (A) is equal to 1000 times the power P in kilowatts (kW) divided by the voltage V in volts (V):

I(A) = 1000 * P(kW) / V(V) / 1000


AC Single Phase Kilowatts to Amps calculation

The phase current I in amps (A) is equal to 1000 times the power P in kilowatts (kW) divided by the power factor PF times the RMS voltage V in volts (V):

I(A) = 1000 * P(kW)) / (PF * V(V))


AC Three Phase Kilowatts to Amps calculation

Calculation with line to line voltage

The phase current I in amps (A) is equal to 1000 times the power P in kilowatts (kW) divided by the square root of 3 times the power factor PF times the line to line RMS voltage VL-L in volts (V):

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

Calculation with line to neutral voltage

The phase current I in amps (A) is equal to 1000 times the power P in kilowatts (kW) divided by 3 times the power factor PF times the line to neutral RMS voltage VL-N in volts (V):

I(A) = 1000 * P(kW) / (3 * PF * VL-N(V))
