electrical Calculator Scenario

Amps to kVA Conversion for 3-Phase 480V

Apparent power (kVA) is used for sizing transformers, panels, and generators in commercial and industrial systems.

Key Considerations

  • 1Formula: kVA = Amps × V × √3 / 1000
  • 2100A at 480V 3Φ = 83.1 kVA
  • 3kVA is always ≥ kW (due to power factor)
  • 4Transformers rated in kVA, not kW

Applicable Standards
