how to amps calculate from 1KVA?

Answer Posted / pillay

1 KVA means 1000 volts amps for single phase calculations

1 KVA means 1000 volts amps x 1.732 for three phase

so for 240v single phase is 1000/240=4.16 A

SO FOR 3 PH @ 415 V= 1000/415/1.732=1.39A

SO FOR 3 PH @ 440 V= 1000/440/1.732= 1.31A

SO for easy average easy calculations you can take 1.35 AMPS
for 1 KVA for 3 p;h calculations
