There is no kva in volts, kva stands for kilo = 1000, volt = working voltage, amps = maximum amperage draw at that voltage. eg. 1000 VA =100v at 10 amps or 200v at 5 amps. If you had a transformer that had a primary voltage of 480 volts and you need a secondary voltage at 240, with a maximum load of 5 amps, the transformer rating should be 1.2kva or 1200VA. On the premise 480V primary, amperage will be 2.5 amps. Secondary 240V, amperage will be 5 amps. 480 x 2.5 = 1.2 KVA, 240 x 5 = 1.2 KVA. Transformer size is 1200 VA or !.2 KVA.

You cannot. watt hours are a measure of energy (Joules); to compare amperes

to energy you must know the voltage and the amount of time the current &

voltage were present.

=========================

"kwh" and "amps" have different physical dimensions, they're used to describe

different types of quantities, and they don't convert to each other.

If you absolutely had to come up with a formula that shows some relationship

between those two units, it would look something like this:

KWH = (volts) x (Amps) x (time in seconds) divided by (3,600,000)

"K" = 1,000

"W" = watt (power)

"H" = hour (time)

"WH" = watt-hour (energy)

"volts x amps" = watts power

You cannot convert volt amperes to amperes. The volt ampere is used to measure apparent power, while the ampere is used to measure current. These are two completely-different quantities.

To find amperage when the kva is known,

Three phase, kva x 1000/1.73 x E (volts). Single phase, kva x 1000/E (volts).

Since KVA is kilovoltamps, then divide KVA by KV to get amps.

How do you convert horsepower into amps?

You don't. The units measure different things.


How do we Calculate Kwh to Kvah?

To convert 'kwh' to 'kvah' you first need to measure the length of time. You will then convert this amount to hours by dividing by 3,600. You will then divide this amount by the length of time.


How can you convert 110 amp hours in a battery to kilowatt hours?

Ohm's law is P=VI for single phase and 1000 watts per KW where P,V,I denote power,voltage,current so KW = amps *110/1000. So 9.1 amps gives ~1 KW If three phase, it is adjusted by the square root of 3.


How many amps are used in 241000 kwh in a 3 phase power system?

The voltage can be either 250000 kilovolts or 240 volts, it can't be both so the question can't be answered. <<>> There are zero amps in 250,000,000 volts. Amps can be found using the following equations. Amps = Volts/Resistance in ohms, Amps = Watts/Volts and Amps = Sq root of Watts/Resistance in ohms.


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)
