A kw (kilowatt) is 1000 amps x volts.
If you assume your one phase system has 120 volts, then divide by 120.
Cheap, but close enough for most work, assume 100 volts,
then each amp is a tenth of a kilowatt.

What is a rotary phase converter commonly used for?
A rotary phase converter is commonly used to convert a single phase electrical power source to three phases. This allows you to use three phases instead of one.
What does 277 vac mean?
That's 277 volts of alternating current. This is typically one phase of a 480v 3 phase system. Don't worry that 3 x 277 adds up to more than 480v. A 277v line is typically one phase of a 480v 3 phase system.
Want to use 3 phase at home?
I think you will find (in the US at least), that almost all utilities will refuse to provide 3-phase power to a residence. If you have just one thing such as a motor that you need three-phase to run, you can purchase a phase convertor to convert your single-phase to 3.
If I have a 200 amp 3 phase 4 wire box what is the maximum load adding up all machines lights etc is it 200 amp total or 200 amp X 3 phase 600 amp load max?
If you have a 200 amp main breaker, it will trip when any one of three phases exceeds 200 amps. This does not give you 600 amps total, only 200 amps total, but on each of three phases. Your three phase machinery and equipment will likely load all phases evenly, and a good electrical design will load your lights and receptacles evenly on all three phases. Doing this reduces the possibility that two phases are loaded at 100 amps, but one is loaded at 205 amps, so the main trips for example.
How many amps does one kilowatt make 240 volts single phase?
There is one part of the question missing. To find an answer the kW of the heater must be stated. Then the equations used are, to change kW to watts, Kw/1000 = watts. Once that is found then use, I = W/E, Amps = Watts/Volts. This will give you the value in amperage of the heater.
How much current will flow in neutral line for three phase supply 100amps?
If all three legs of the system are balanced then zero amps will flow all the way up to 100 amps if only one leg of the three phase system is used. The neutral in a wye three phase system carries only the unbalanced current. This is why in services for a three phase four wire system you are allowed to reduce the size of the neutral conductor.
How do you convert single phase kva to three phase kva?
Va=volts x amps. The K stands for one thousand. So 1 Kva is one thousand watts. So 415v times 120a= 49,800 what's. You divide that by a thousand and you get 49.8. So it would be 49.8 Kva.
Can you convert 1 phase to 3 phases?
You can buy a converter. Here is one example of many available on the web.Phase-A-Matic PAM-300HD Phase Converter, Static, 1-3 HPPhase Converter, Static, Input Voltage 208-242, Output Voltage 208-242, Input Phase AC 1, Output Phase AC 3, Input (Amps) 15, Output Amps 9.6 ...
How do you convert kvar to amps?
At what voltage? When you know the voltage then, to get the amps those kilovolt.amps contain, you simply divide the kilovolt.amps by the voltage. <><><> You can't convert kVA (kilovolt.amps) to amps unless you know either the source voltage (as was explained above here in the first answer) or the load resistance which is drawing the current from the source. If you know them both you can use Ohm's Law to get the amperage: I = V / R In words, Ohm's law is: Current (amps) equals voltage divided by resistance (ohms)
What is a phase used for?
Phase converters are mostly used to convert single phase electricity into multiple phases or to convert multiple phases into one. They are usually installed to provide three phase electricity where an individual may not get it otherwise.
How do you convert micro amps to amps?
The prefix 'micro' means, one millionth. So there are one million micro amps in one amp
What is a phase converter used for?
Phase converters are mostly used to convert single phase electricity into multiple phases or to convert multiple phases into one. They are usually installed to provide three phase electricity where an individual may not get it otherwise.
Can you convert 2phase in to 3phase?
It is very unlikely that you will ever come across an archaic 'two-phase' system, so your question is of academic interest only. A two-phase, three-wire, system is one in which phase voltages are generated 90 electrical degrees apart and whose line voltage is, therefore, 1.414 greater than its phase voltage. So, the answer to your question is no.
How do you convert 3 phase power to 2 phase power?
You need to have a properly sized Phase Converter Installed. What do you need 2 phase for? Is it just one piece of equipment? If so it may be is easier and cheaper to convert the equipment.If you are looking for a Licensed electrician you can find one at www.contraxtor.comAnswerDo you really mean a 'two-phase' system? This is an archaic system in which the phase voltages are displaced by 90 electrical degrees. Many people mistake this term for the 'split-phase' system, used in North America, to provide a 240/120-V service. If you do mean a 'split-phase' system, then you will need a single-phase transformer whose primary is connected across any pair of the three-phase line conductors, and a centre-tapped 240-V secondary. The centre tapped connection is earthed (grounded) to provide the neutral connection, and the potential of each end of that winding is 120 V with respect to the neutral. Of course, the turns ratio of your transformer must be appropriate for your three-phase supply. As the original answer indicates, this work will need to be performed by a licensed electrician.
In a modern industrial plant the most likely polyphase power system in use is a A. one-phase system. C. three-phase system. B. two-phase system. D. four-phase system.?
A "three-phase system" is a polyphase system having three phases. The term "polyphase system" just means a system having multiple phases. If it is used by itself, "a polyphase system" doesn't mean "a three-phase system".
How many amps are in one degree?
Those two are completely unrelated; it doesn't make sense to convert them.
What size of aluminium cable for 3 phase 440 amps.?
About one million circular mill. You need to up the voltage.
