To calculate how many kVA 100 amps corresponds to, you need to know the voltage and the power factor. The formula to calculate kVA is:
\[
\text{kVA} = \frac{V \times I}{1000}
\]
Where:
- \(V\) is the voltage in volts
- \(I\) is the current in amps
- 1000 is to convert VA to kVA
If you're assuming a standard voltage (like 230V or 400V for industrial applications), you can calculate it:
### For 230V (single-phase):
\[
\text{kVA} = \frac{230 \times 100}{1000} = 23 \, \text{kVA}
\]
### For 400V (three-phase):
For three-phase power, the formula changes slightly:
\[
\text{kVA} = \frac{\sqrt{3} \times V \times I}{1000}
\]
Where \(\sqrt{3} \approx 1.732\).
So, for 400V:
\[
\text{kVA} = \frac{1.732 \times 400 \times 100}{1000} = 69.28 \, \text{kVA}
\]
If you have a different voltage, let me know, and I can help adjust the calculation!
