In order to calculate amps. you will need to know at least two other values pertaining to the circuit in question using Ohm's Law. Basically, amps can be calculated by either Watts divided by Voltage, or the square root of Watts divided by Resistance. Since you expressed your question in Kilowatts, multiply that value by 1000 to convert to watts.

1 megawatt equals how many amps at 480 volt 3 phase?

The equation you need to find amperage when kilowatts are known. Amps = kW x 1000/1.73 x volts x PF. Use .9 as a Power Factor constant.First megawatts must be changed to kilowatts. 1000000/1000 = 1000 kilowatts. Amps = 1000 x 1000/ 1.73 x 480 x .9 = 1000000/747 = 1338.6 amps.


How do you change 120 volts into kilowatts without knowing the amps?

You don't. Othewise your local power company could charge you for 1,000,000 kilowatt hours of electricity used by your 120 volt outlet that doesn't have anything plugged into it.


How many amps are in 40 volt amps?

Multiply the vots by the amps to find the volt-amps. Or divide the volt-amps by the voltage to find the amps.


How many kilowatts does 7 amps pull?

Seven amps pulls zero kilowatts . W = A x V. You need to state a voltage to multiply the amperage by to get watts. Then divide by 1000 to get kilowatts.


How many amps does a 60 hp 460 volt motor draw?

750 watts per horse power20 x 750 = 15,000 watts / 220V = 68A68 amps at 220 volts


How do you convert 5kW to amps if your voltage is 120?

P, the power in kW (kilowatts) is related to V (the supply voltage) and I (the current in amps) by the Power Law: P = V x I So, to get the current: I = P / V If you have something that uses 5 kW (which is the same as 5000 watts) and the source voltage is 120 V, then the current drawn in amps = 5000 / 120 = 41.67 amps.


What is the difference between amps and volt-amps?

Amps is a measure of current flowing in a circuit. Volt-Amps or (VA) is a measure of power and is equivalent to wattage for a pure resistive load.


How many how many amps in 100 watts?

A three wire home distribution service rated at 100 amps has a wattage capacity of;From L1 to L2 at 240 volts x 100 amps = 24000 watts or 24 kilowatts. From L1 to neutral at 120 volts x 100 amps = 12000 watts or 12 kilowatts. From L2 to neutral at 120 volts x 100 amps = 12000 watts or 12 kilowatts.


How many kilowatts are being used in a 120 volt 100 watt light bulb pulling 1.07 amps?

If you believe the 100 watt spec then it consumes .1KW. If you believe the measured amount then .1284 KW.


How many 12 kw is in amps?

There are zero kilowatts in amps. A voltage value has to be supplied before an answer can be given. I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts = 12000/Volts. Alternatively, you could state the resistance, from which the amps are determined from P/R = I2.


How many volt amps in 12 volt battery?

Depends on the battery. It is listed on the battery as Cold Cranking Amps (CCA).
