Some confusion hereKW and KVA are units of power. The ampere is a unit of current. If you divide power by the voltage involved, you can determine the current involved, in amps.

Power (watts) = volts x amps

A volt-amp is a watt. (A volt times an amp is a watt.)

I=(KVA*1000)/(1.732*V) (Three Phase)

AMP=KW/1000*V*PF

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

KW or KVA can be converted to one another but you cannot convert them to amps. You can compute amps by using this formula,

KW = I x V x 1.732 x P.F/1000 (Three phase)

KVA = I x V x 1.732/1000 (Three phase)

If you have KVA and voltage, simply divide KVA by voltage, after normalizing voltage to KV, and you get A. You don't need KW or power factor in this case.

Is current measured in volts?

The Ampere is the unit of electric current. It depends upon a voltage in order for it to occur, and the Volt is that unit. The Ohm is the unit of resistance and represents the difficulty of moving the electrons by the voltage.


How do you calculate the amperage given the watts and voltage?

Amps = Watts / (Volts x Power Factor). The Power Factor is one for resistive loads and decreases for inductive loads like motors.


What is mean KVA Rating of transformer?

copper loss is directly propostional to I (AMPERE) and iron loss directly propostional to V (VOLTAGE) then total losses is equal to volt ampere hence the rating of transformer in KVA. SULTAN


Why rating of transformer is given in kva and that of motor in kw?

A motor's output is measured in watts because it has to supply energy to a mechanical load. The rate at which energy is supplied to a mechancial load is expressed in watts (it wouldn't make sense to express it in electrical units!). A transformer's output is expressed in volt amperes, because this is the product of the transformer's rated output voltage and its rated secondary current -the product of voltage and current in a.c. systems is the volt ampere. In order to express its output in watts, you would need to know the power factor of the load which it supplies (power equals voltage times current times power factor), and the manufacturer has no means of knowing this.


125 amps is how many watts?

Depends on the voltage output, in a 12 Volt system 12.5 Amps equals 150 Watts, the equation is, (Amps x Volts)= Watts <<>> 12.5 amps is zero watts. Watts is the product of amps x volts. Without the voltage value an answer can not be given.
