To calculate how many amperes (A) are in 1 kVA (kilovolt-ampere), you need to know the voltage of the system, as the formula depends on that. Here's the general formula:
\[
\text{Amperes (A)} = \frac{\text{kVA} \times 1000}{\text{Voltage (V)}}
\]
Where:
Example 1: For a 230V system:
\[
\text{Amperes (A)} = \frac{1 \times 1000}{230} \approx 4.35 \, \text{A}
\]
Example 2: For a 415V system:
\[
\text{Amperes (A)} = \frac{1 \times 1000}{415} \approx 2.41 \, \text{A}
\]
So, depending on the voltage, 1 kVA will result in different amperes. Just plug in the voltage for your system to find the current in amperes!
\[
\text{Amperes (A)} = \frac{\text{kVA} \times 1000}{\text{Voltage (V)}}
\]
Where:
- kVA is the power in kilovolt-amperes
- Voltage (V) is the system voltage (in volts)
- 1000 is to convert kVA to VA (volt-amperes)
Example 1: For a 230V system:
\[\text{Amperes (A)} = \frac{1 \times 1000}{230} \approx 4.35 \, \text{A}
\]
Example 2: For a 415V system:
\[\text{Amperes (A)} = \frac{1 \times 1000}{415} \approx 2.41 \, \text{A}
\]
So, depending on the voltage, 1 kVA will result in different amperes. Just plug in the voltage for your system to find the current in amperes!
