Best Answer

If it's a simple resistive circuit, or a D.C. circuit, 1 kVA = 1 kW. Generally, it depends on your power factor. Since real power, P, is equal to the total power, S, multiplied by the power factor, p.f. Power factor is the cosine of the angle between the current and the voltage, O. So,

P = S * cos(O)

An Ampere is a unit of electrical current in coulombs per second. A kilovoltampere is a unit of electrical power in kilojoules per second. The two units are not directly convertible.

How many amp for gen set 120 KVA output 415 Volt?

i try ......gen set 120 KVA and output 415 Volt 1 KVA = 0.8KW so 120 x 0.8 = 96 kW A = w/v ~ A = 96000/415 = 231.3 Amp I' it right ? If wrong give correction

How maniy amp 1250 kva?

It depends on how many volts there are. You did not provide that information, so the question cannot be answered. Please restate the question. In general, however, KVA is KV times A or KA times V. If you had 250 V, then 1250 KVA would be 5 A.


What is 225 KVA in amps?

KVA is a measure of power, while amp (or ampere) is a measure of current. KVA meanes kiloVoltAmps. 1 kVA = 1000 V*A. so 225 KVA = 225,000 VA (volts * amperes) So you would need to also know the voltage, in order to find the amperes.


How you find amp from kva in three phase power?

What kva is 46amp?

KVA is kilo volt amp, and one needs to know both the voltage and the amperage, and possibly the phase angle. It is comparable with kilowatts for a resistive load.


How do you compute ampere if the given is kvA kW power factor and voltage?

Some confusion hereKW and KVA are units of power. The ampere is a unit of current. If you divide power by the voltage involved, you can determine the current involved, in amps. Power (watts) = volts x ampsA volt-amp is a watt. (A volt times an amp is a watt.)I=(KVA*1000)/(1.732*V) (Three Phase)AMP=KW/1000*V*PF--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------KW or KVA can be converted to one another but you cannot convert them to amps. You can compute amps by using this formula,KW = I x V x 1.732 x P.F/1000 (Three phase)KVA = I x V x 1.732/1000 (Three phase)


Convert kva to full load amps?

kva means 1000 x voltage x currentSo in order to determine the current we need to know the voltage.AnswerA kilovolt ampere (kV.A, not kva) is a measure of a circuit's apparent power, whereas the ampere(not amp) is a measure of current. These are two completely separate quantities, so your question is quite meaningless. You might have well have asked, "How metres are there in a kilogram of sugar?"


What kva comes into a house?

KVA is the abbreviation for kilo-volt-amp, or kilo-watt (volts x amps = watts) Your KVA is you amps used multiplied by 240 ( number of volts in the electrical service for your house) example: if your home draws 500 amps you are consuming you would be drawing 120,000 VA or 120 KVA. That help?


How many 240 volt 4.9 amp draw lights can be run on a 15 kva 2 phase transformer?

The lamp uses 240 x 4.9 VA, that is 1176 VA, so a 15 kVA transformer, which is 15,000 VA, could feed 12 lamps.
