kW to Amps Calculator

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

Formula

A = (kW × 1000) ÷ V

A
Current, in amps
kW
Power, in kilowatts
V
Voltage, in volts

What this calculator does

Converts a power rating in kilowatts to current in amps at a given voltage.

Use cases

  • Size a feeder or breaker for a load rated in kilowatts
  • Find the current draw of equipment from its kW rating
  • Verify a panel's load calculation against expected current
