use 1.0 as your PF Understand that K=1000, so KVA simply means thousands of volts times amps. First, multiply KVA by 1000 to get VA, then divide by the voltage of the system to get amps. Example: 6KVA, 240V single-phase. 6 * 1000 = 6000 VA 6000 / 240 = 25A

amps X volts / 1000 = Kva (for a single-phase system).

Kva stands for Kilo-volt-amperes, and the Kilo- prefix means thousands.

Also, Kva X Power Factor = Kw

Example:

120 volt, single-phase load drawing 10 amperes with a power factor of 0.8 (80%) draws how many Kva and how many Kw?

120 X 10 / 1000 = 1.2 Kva

1.2 X 0.8 = 0.96 Kw

Single-phase, 2.5 amps; three-phase 1.443 amps.


What amperage will a range with a rating of 12.9 kw draw?

This depends on what voltage the range is rated for and if it is single phase or three phase. At 220 volts single phase it is about 60 amps, 240 v single phase , 53 amps and at 480 v three phase about 15 amps.

What is the amperage of a 20 HP 240v single phase motor?

Typically single phase motors go up to 10hp. Wouldn't be very efficient at about 100 amps. A 20hp 3 phase motor at 230v pulls 52 amps. The 10hp single phase 230v pulls 50 amps.


How do you convert kva to amps three phase system when you have 220-240 volts?

Amperes when kva is shown. The formula is, Amps = kva x 1000/1.73 x volts.


How do you convert 440 Amps to KVA for three phase system?

You must rephrase your question to make it more specific. <<>> The formula to use to find KVA in a three phase system is, KVA = Amps x Volts x 1.73/1000.


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.


How di you convert kw to amps for a one phase system?

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.
