Three Phase Amps Calculator

Calculate three-phase current from apparent power and line voltage (A = kVA × 1000 ÷ (√3 × V)).

Formula

A = (kVA × 1000) ÷ (√3 × V)

A
Line current, in amps
kVA
Apparent power, in kilovolt-amps
V
Line-to-line voltage, in volts

What this calculator does

Calculates the line current of a balanced three-phase circuit from its apparent power (kVA) rating and voltage.

Use cases

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