Amps to Kilowatts Calculator (DC)
What is an Amps to kW Converter?
The Amps to kW Calculator is a calculator that calculates electrical power in kilowatts with given values of current in amps and voltage. This converter helps anyone working with electrical systems—whether you are an electrician, an engineer, or a DIY enthusiast—ascertain the power requirements of one’s work, hence making it easier to plan for efficient energy use.
You can manually convert amps to kW using the formula formula.
Amps to Kilowatts Conversion
Formula: Amps to Kilowatts
To calculate power (kW) when current (I) in amps and voltage (V) in volts are known:
\[ P(\text{kW}) = \frac{I(\text{A}) \times V(\text{V})}{1000} \]
Where:
- \( P \) = Power in kilowatts (kW)
- \( I \) = Current in amps (A)
- \( V \) = Voltage in volts (V)
Example Calculation
If the current is 10 amps and the voltage is 220 volts:
\[ P(\text{kW}) = \frac{10 \times 220}{1000} = 2.2 \text{ kW} \]
What Are Amps and Kilowatts?
Amps (short for Ampere) and Kilowatts (kW) are both units used to measure different aspects of electricity, but they describe different things.
Amps are the units used for measuring flow in electric current through a circuit. You can refer to amps as a measure of how much electricity flows, much like the amount of water flowing through a pipe. More amps mean more electricity is moving through the circuit.
Power defines the rate at which electricity is being used or generated. A kilowatt is 1,000 watts. It is a measure of the usage of electricity over time. For example, with a microwave rated at 1,000 watts, it operates at 1 kilowatt of power.

- Step 1: Enter the current (in Amps) in the designated field.
- Step 2: Enter the voltage (in Volts) in the voltage field.
- Step 3: Click the “Calculate” button to compute the result.
FAQs
How to Convert Amps to kW?
Use the formula: P(kW) = I(A) . Multiply amps by voltage and divide by 1000.
How to Calculate kW to Amps?
Use the formula: I(A)=P(kW)×1000/V(V). Multiply kW by 1000 and divide by voltage.
200 Amps to kW:
For 200 amps and 240 volts: 200×240/1000=48kW
40 Amps to kW:
For 40 amps and 240 volts: 40×240/1000=9.6kW.
48 Amps to kW:
For 48 amps and 240 volts: 48×240/1000=11.52kW.
100 Amps to kW:
For 100 amps and 240 volts: 100×240/1000=24kW.
