How to calculate the kVA of an electrical device?

Single Phase formula to calculate kVA

For single-phase, kilo volt-ampere (kVA) is equal to the rated voltage (V) multiplied by current. Divide that result by a thousand to get the final result in kilo volt-ampere.

Single-phase-k-VA-formula

Example: Let us say you have 230 VAC equipment and the current is 100 amps. The calculated kilo volt-ampere is 23 kVA.

Three Phase formula to calculate kVA

For three-phase, kilo volt-ampere (kVA) is equal to the square root of three multiplied by rated voltage (V) by rated current (I) whole divided by thousand.

Three-phase-k-VA-formula

Example: Let us say you have a transformer having LV side voltage 415 VAC and rated current 2000 amps. For this transformer, the calculated kVA is 1435.9 kVA.
