kVA to Amps Calculator (Single & Three Phase)

Convert transformer power rating (kVA) to electrical current.
Use this kVA to amps calculator to determine full load current for transformers, switchgear, and electrical equipment in single-phase and three-phase systems.

Engineering Reference
Three Phase Formula
I = (kVA × 1000) / (√3 × V)
Single Phase Formula
I = (kVA × 1000) / V
  • I = Full Load Amps (FLA)
  • S = Apparent Power (kVA)
  • V = Line-to-Line Voltage
  • 125% = Recommended safety factor for continuous loads
