How Kilowatt to amperes?

Best Answer

The symbol for 'kilowatt' is 'kW', not 'Kw'.

The kilowatt is used to measure power, whereas the ampere is used to measure current. These are different quantities, so you cannot simply convert one to the other. It's a little like asking "How do you convert kilometres per hour into newtons per metre?"!

However, if you know that the power-rating of a kettle is 3 kW, and the supply voltage is 230 V, then you can find out the resulting current by dividing the power by the voltage. In this example, the current would work out at 13 A.

Watt = Volts x Amperes, so w/o knowing the voltage it can't be done.

kw is power, ampere is current, so you don't directly convert them. The two are related by: watt = volt x ampere.

How do you Calculate Pumping Cost using Horse Power and also Amp's?

Horse-power: convert that to kilowatt. Multiply by the time in hours you have the pump on, to get kilowatt-hours. Multiply the result by the cost of each kilowatt-hour. (Look at a recent electricity bill - if it doesn't explicitly state the cost per kilowatt-hour, you can divide the total of the bill by the number of kilowatt-hours consumed.)Amperes: You would also need the voltage. If you multiply amperes by volts, you get the power in watts. Divide the result by thousand to get kilowatts. Then continue as above.CommentAs the horsepower quoted for a machine is always its output power, you will need to know the efficiency of the machine in order to determine the input power (in watts), before performing the above calculations. The input power is always higher than the output power. Efficiency varies according to (a) the power rating of the motor, and (2) the actual load it is supplying, and can be less than 80% for smaller motors.

What total ampere in 736watts used in 8 hours?

You cannot find ampere from watts (power) and time, alone. To find amperes (electrical current) from power, you also need to know the voltage, then:Current = (Power) / (voltage), or Amperes = Watts / Volts.You can get energy (measured in kilowatt-hour) from the information you have:736 watts is 0.736 kW, then multiply by 8 hr to get 5.888 kWh

How do you measure kilowatt to ampere?

These are three different type of units; the kilowatt hour is a measure of energy, kilowatt a measure of power and the amp a measure of current. or That is an easy one. If you plug a 100 watt bulb into a 110 volt outlet you will draw 0.91 amps. Watts=voltage times Amperes. The draw on the circuit will be 0.1 kiliowatts (1000 watts is one kiliowatt) If you leave this bulb on for ten hours you will have drawn a kiliowatt hour (KWH is power over time) In one hour this bulb will have drawn 0.1 KWH That help?
