Amps (A) to kilowatts (kW) calculator.
Select current type, enter current in amps, voltage in volts, power factor for AC circuit and press the Calculate button (DC = Direct Current, AC = Alternating Current):
* Use e for scientific notation. E.g: 5e3, 4e-8, 1.45e12
DC amps to kilowatts calculation
The power P in kilowatts (kW) is equal to the current I in amps (A), times the voltage V in volts (V) divided by 1000:
P(kW) = I(A) × V(V) / 1000
AC single phase amps to kilowatts calculation
The power P in kilowatts (kW) is equal to the power factor PF times the phase current I in amps (A), times the RMS voltage V in volts (V) divided by 1000:
P(kW) = PF × I(A) × V(V) / 1000
AC three phase amps to kilowatts calculation
Calculation with line to line voltage
The power P in kilowatts (kW) is equal to square root of 3 times the power factor PF times the phase current I in amps (A), times the line to line RMS voltage VL-L in volts (V) divided by 1000:
P(kW) = √3× PF × I(A) × VL-L (V) / 1000
Calculation with line to neutral voltage
The power P in kilowatts (kW) is equal to 3 times the power factor PF times the phase current I in amps (A), times the line to neutral RMS voltage VL-N in volts (V) divided by 1000:
P(kW) = 3 × PF × I(A) × VL-N (V) / 1000
