How many amps does 42kw in a 3 phase system 120208 convert to?

Answer 1

You would use the 208 voltage which is a three phase voltage, the 120 volts is each leg to ground or star point. The formula for Amps = kw x 1000/1.73 x Volts x pf. Pf = power factor.

Answer 2

To convert from kilowatts (kW) to amps in a 3-phase system, you can use the formula: Amps = (kW × 1000) / (√3 × volts). In this case, with 42 kW and a voltage of 120208 V, the amperage would be around 139 amps.
