KVA Calculation Methods and Formulas

The document discusses KVA (kilovolt-amperes), which is a unit of power in electrical terms that is calculated by multiplying voltage and current. It provides formulas for calculating amps, KVA, or voltage from two of the three values of current, voltage, and KVA for both single-phase and three-phase electrical systems. The formulas treat KVA as the apparent power and involve dividing it by the voltage to determine current, or multiplying it by the voltage to determine KVA.

KVA

KVA is Kilo volt [Link]'s the product of voltage and current. It's the unit of power in electrical [Link] we multiply KVA with the powerfactor,we get kilowatts. Mathematically

Single phase kVA to amps calculation formula


The current I in amps is equal to 1000 times the apparent power S in kilovolt-amps, divided by the voltage V in volts:

I(A) = 1000 S(kVA) / V(V)


3 phase kVA to amps calculation formula
Calculation with line to line voltage
The current I in amps (with balanced loads) is equal to 1000 times the apparent power S in kilovolt-amps, divided by the square root of 3 times the line to line voltage VL-L in volts:

I(A) = 1000 S(kVA) / (3 VL-L(V) )


Calculation with line to neutral voltage
The current I in amps (with balanced loads) is equal to 1000 times the apparent power S in kilovolt-amps, divided by 3 times the line to neutral voltage VL-N in volts:

I(A) = 1000 S(kVA) / (3 VL-N(V) )

Answer:
First determine what voltage is needed for phase to phase. Where you work on or where the gears are coming from would help to answer this question. In Southeast Asia, where power is 220~240 volts, a 3 phase system would be 415v phase to phase. In North america, a 3 phase system would be 208v phase to phase. So now you know the voltage that you are working with on a 3 phase system. Next use this formula, kVA x 1000 / voltage required / 1.73 = amp 3 phase Example, you have a 60kVA generator. And you working in North America, which is 208v phase to phase. 60 kVA x 1000 / 208 v / 1.73 = 166amp 3 phase Written by: Rony Xu Hope this helps!
