Best Answer

kVA - Kilo Volt Ampere

The calculation used to find kVA is P=I x E

Where P is Power in Watts (W)

I is the current in Amperes (A), and

E is applied voltage in Volts (V)

The result is divided by 1,000 to denote the k for kilo.

As such a voltage of 120 with 10 amperes being drawn would equate to 1200 watts which can be shown as 1.2 kiloWatts or 1.2 kVA.

The measure of kVA is specifies the Wattage capacity of a transformer. Any higher Power output (or Voltage input) will cause the transformer to overheat and trip breakers.

How do you convert single phase kva to three phase kva?

Va=volts x amps. The K stands for one thousand. So 1 Kva is one thousand watts. So 415v times 120a= 49,800 what's. You divide that by a thousand and you get 49.8. So it would be 49.8 Kva.

kVA stands for Kilo(means a thousand) Volt Amperes. It's a kind of capacity rating for how much electrical power something can either deliver or needs.


What is the formula to calculate load voltage?

Power requirements are measured in KVA, which stands for Kilo-Volt-Amperes. To calculate the amount of power you require you would use the following formula. KVA = Volts * Amps / 1000

How do you convert Amps to KVA for a single phase system?

use 1.0 as your PF Understand that K=1000, so KVA simply means thousands of volts times amps. First, multiply KVA by 1000 to get VA, then divide by the voltage of the system to get amps. Example: 6KVA, 240V single-phase. 6 * 1000 = 6000 VA 6000 / 240 = 25A
