What Are Amps and Kilowatts?
Ampere (Amps)
Amps (short for amperes) are the unit of measurement for electric current. Electric current is the flow of electric charge through a conductor, such as a wire.In simple terms, an amp measures how much electricity is flowing in a circuit at any given moment. The higher the amperage, the greater the amount of electrical current passing through the system.
Kilowatts
Kilowatts (kW) are a unit of power, and they represent the rate at which electrical energy is used or produced. One kilowatt is equal to 1,000 watts. Power is the amount of energy consumed or delivered by an electrical device per unit of time.
Amps to Kilowatts Conversion
DC Amps to Kilowatts Conversion
The power P in kilowatts (kW) is calculated using the formula:
P(kW) = I(A) × V(V) / 1000
Where:
- P(kW): Power in kilowatts (kW)
- I(A): Current in Amperes (A)
- V(V): Voltage in Volts (V)
AC Single Phase Amps to Kilowatts Calculation
The power P in kilowatts (kW) is calculated using the formula:
P(kW) = PF × I(A) × V(V) / 1000
Where:
- P(kW): Power in kilowatts (kW)
- PF: Power Factor
- I(A): Current in Amperes (A)
- V(V): Voltage in Volts (V)
AC Three Phase Amps to Kilowatts Calculation
Calculation with Line to Line Voltage
The power P in kilowatts (kW) is calculated using the formula:
P(kW) = √3 × PF × I(A) × VL-L(V) / 1000
Where:
- P(kW): Power in kilowatts (kW)
- PF: Power Factor
- I(A): Current in Amperes (A)
- VL-L(V): Line to line voltage in Volts (V)
Calculation with Line to Neutral Voltage
The power P in kilowatts (kW) is calculated using the formula:
P(kW) = 3 × PF × I(A) × VL-N(V) / 1000
Where:
- P(kW): Power in kilowatts (kW)
- PF: Power Factor
- I(A): Current in Amperes (A)
- VL-N(V): Line to neutral voltage in Volts (V)
