Conversion using the Amps to KVA Formula
How to Calculate KVA from amps and volts using AC Single Phase current.
The apparent power in kilovolt-amps is equal to the current in amps, times the voltage in volts, divided by 1000:
For Example, single-phase system with 240 volts and 50 amps, the apparent power is ____ kVA.
How to Calculate KVA from amps and volts using AC 3-phase current for Line-to-Line Voltage.
The apparent power S in kilovolt-amps is equal to phase current I in amps, times the line-to-line RMS voltage V L-L in volts, divided by 1000:
For Example, 3-phase system with a line-to-line voltage of 400 volts and 50 amps, the apparent power is approximately ____ kVA
How to Calculate KVA from amps and volts using AC 3-phase current for Line-to-Neutral Voltage.
The apparent power S in kilovolt-amps is equal to phase current I in amps, times the line to neutral RMS voltage VL-N in volts, divided by 1000:
For Example, 3-phase system with a line-to-neutral voltage of 440 volts and 50 amps, the apparent power is approximately ___ kVA.

Frequently Asked Questions - FAQs for Amps to KVA Calculator
To calculate kVA from Amps, multiply the amperage by the voltage in volts, then divide the result by 1000.
300 Amps at 12 Volts would be 3600 VA or 3.6 kVA.
The formula for converting kVA into kW is:
For example, a 400kVA generator with a power factor of 0.8 outputs 160kW actual power; 400 kVA x 0.8 = 320 kW.
How to Calculate Electrical Load Capacity for Safe Usage 30-amp 220-volt circuit: 30 amps x 220 volts = 6,600 watts or 6.6Kw.
