kVA to Amps conversion

The RMS current I in amps is equal to 1000 times the apparent power S in kilovolt-amps, divided by the RMS voltage V in volts:

I = 1000 × S / V

So amps are equal to 1000 times kilovolt amps divided by volts.

amps = 1000 × kVA / volts

Or

A = 1000 · kVA / V

Question: What is the current in amps when the apparent power is 3 kVA and the voltage supply is 110 volts?

Answer:

I = 1000 × 3kVA / 110V = 27.27A
