How do you convert KVA to Amps for a three phase system?

Answer:
First determine what voltage is needed for phase to phase. Where you work on or where the gears are coming from would help to answer this question. In Southeast Asia, where power is 220~240 volts, a 3 phase system would be 415v phase to phase. In North america, a 3 phase system would be 208v phase to phase.

So now you know the voltage that you are working with on a 3 phase system. Next use this formula, kVA x 1000 / voltage required / 1.73 = amp 3 phase

Example, you have a 60kVA generator. And you working in North America, which is 208v phase to phase.

60 kVA x 1000 / 208 v / 1.73 = 166amp 3 phase
