Three Phase kVA Calculator

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

Formula

kVA = (√3 × V × I) ÷ 1000

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

What this calculator does

Calculates the apparent power (kVA) supplied to a balanced three-phase load from line voltage and current.

Use cases

  • Size a three-phase transformer for a measured line voltage and current
  • Estimate generator loading in kVA for a three-phase circuit
  • Check a panel's apparent power demand against its rated capacity
