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.

Which physical quantity has killowatt-ampere?

Kilowatt per ampere you meant?Power = potential difference x currentSo, p.d = P/Iand can have the unit kilowatt per ampereOn the other hand, the physical quantity with the unit kilowatt-ampere has no meaning.


Does amps express the difference in energy?

No, amps (amperes) do not directly express the difference in energy. Amps measure electrical current, which is the flow of electric charge. Energy is typically measured in units such as joules or kilowatt-hours.


What The electrical measured is in what units?

Electrical current is measured in amperes (A), voltage is measured in volts (V), and resistance is measured in ohms (Ω). Power is measured in watts (W), and energy is measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh).


What electrical units do you rate a wind turbine and a power station?

Watts kW = (1 kilowatt = 1000 Watts) MW = (1 megawatt = 1000 kilowatts) GW = (1 giagawatt = 1000 megawatts) Volts Amperes


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.


Is the kilowatt apparent power?

According to Wikipedia, all forms of power can be expressed in Watts, but typically one expresses only REAL Power in Watts (& Kilowatts).The standard is to express Apparent Power in Volt-Amperes (VA) (& KVA).The kilowatt is the unit of measure for true power; apparent power is measured in volt amperes.However, the volt ampere and the reactive volt ampere (for reactive power) are traditional units, used to help differentiate between apparent, true, and reactive power. SI recognises the watt as the unit for each.

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
