How do you convert kvar to amps?

Answer 1

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)

Answer 2

For single phase, RMS values of volts and amps:

KVAR = kVoltage * Amps

For three phase, RMS valuse of volts and amps, with voltage phase to phase:

KVAR = kVolt * Amps * sqrt(3)

For three phase, RMS values of volts and amps, with voltage phase to ground:

KVAR = kVolt * Amps * 3

Answer 3

You can't convert current (amps) to voltage (volts or kilovolts) unless you know the load resistance which is drawing the current from the source.

Then use Ohm's Law to get the voltage:

V = I x R

In words, Ohm's law is:

Volts = current (amps) times resistance (ohms)

Answer 4

Watts = Volts x Amps x Power Factor

KWH is kilowatt hours and is the measure of energy usage for which the power company would charge

A megavolt = 1 million volts

A Volt Ampere = a watt if the Power Factor is one.

1000 KW = 1 MVA

If you use the 1000 KW for one hour it would = 1 MVA per hour.

Answer 5

Your question is rather like asking, "How do you convert kilometres to Celsius?" The volt ampere is the unit for apparent power, while the ampere is the unit for current -two different quantities.
