kVA to Amps Calculator

Convert kVA to amps using apparent power and voltage (A = kVA × 1000 ÷ V).

Formula

A = (kVA × 1000) ÷ V

A
Current, in amps
kVA
Apparent power, in kilovolt-amps
V
Voltage, in volts

What this calculator does

Converts an apparent power rating in kVA to current in amps at a given voltage.

Use cases

  • Find the secondary current of a transformer from its kVA rating
  • Size conductors for a generator rated in kVA
  • Check a nameplate kVA rating against expected current
