You don't calculate the rated kV.A of a circuit breaker; it's determined by the manufacturer. It's important that a circuit breaker's rated kV.A exceeds the fault level kV.A at the point where the circuit breaker is located, otherwise it may fail to interrupt a fault current and, possibly, self destruct.

If you have a circuit breaker box containing 650 amps of circuit breakers it is 3 phase 480 volts what size kva generator do you need?

The question isn't the number of amps total on your branch circuits, but rather, what your MAIN breaker(s) are rated at. This will determine what size of generator you will need. And be certain that the generator is 3-phase. <<>> The formula you are looking for is Amps = kva x 1000/1.73 x voltage.


Would a slight rise in the kva cause a 2000 amp gfci breaker to trip?

A circuit breaker trips when the current exceeds the rated trip current. Usually the trip current should be at least 25% more than the maximum expected load current.


What is rated voltage and current in transformers and how to calculate them if given 50k VA?

Rated voltage is the voltage at primary side. Rated current can be found from the equation, Rated Current= Output KVA / Output rated voltage


How do you calculate kilovoltamps when kilowatts is known?

To calculate kilovolt-amps (kVA) when kilowatts (kW) is known, you can use the formula: kVA = kW / power factor. The power factor is the ratio of real power (kW) to apparent power (kVA) in an electrical circuit.


What is kva rating of single phase transformer?

This is the rated output of the transformer, obtained by multiplying the rated secondary voltage by the rated secondary current. And it's 'kV.A', not 'kva'.


How do you calculate kva?

Amps * volts / 1000


What is the power of a circuit?

power factor means kw/kva


How do you calculate kva to ampere?

You cannot convert them. KVA is a measure of power, while amperes are a measure of current.


What is the rating of circuit breaker needed for a 500kva load?

To answer this question a voltage needs to be stated and whether the load is three phase or single phase. Without the voltage the amperage can not be calculated. For single phase, Amps = kva x 1000/voltage, for three phase, Amps = kva x 1000/1.73 x voltage.


Why transformer are rated in kVA instead of KW?

Transformers are rated in VA or kVA. That is because the voltage is limited by the power loss in the magnetic core, and the current is limited by the power loss in the resistance of the windings. The rated voltage times the rated current gives the transformer's rating in kVA.


How calculate kvar?

kvar can be calculated as follows the a product KVA andt the sine of the angle between the KVA and KW.
