kW to Amp Calculator (DC Current)
What is a kW to Amps Converter?
The kW to Amp calculator is intended for the conversion of a power rating from kilowatts to amps by using a given voltage (V). Such transformation is critical in multiple electrical engineering fields and practicing applications that require the knowledge of current for safe use and operation of power. In the formula:​
kW to Amps Conversion
Formula: Converting kW to Amps using Voltage
To calculate current (I) when power (P) in kilowatts and voltage (V) are known:
\[ I(A) = \frac{1000 \times P(\text{kW})}{V(\text{V})} \]
Where:
- \(I\) = Current in amps (A)
- \(P\) = Power in kilowatts (kW)
- \(V\) = Voltage in volts (V)
Example Calculation
If the power is 10 kW and the voltage is 220 V:
\[ I = \frac{1000 \times 10}{220} = 45.45 \text{ A} \]
How to Use a kW to Amps Converter
- Enter Power (kW): Input the power in kilowatts.
- Enter Voltage (V): Add the voltage in volts.
- Select Current Type: Choose AC or DC, and if AC, choose single or three-phase.
- Click Calculate: Press the calculate button.
- View Result: The current in amps (A) will display instantly.
