kW to Amps Calculator Power Calculator, a tool designed to help you quickly estimate the current (amps, A) required for a given power (kilowatts, kW), voltage (volts, V) and power factor (PF). This calculator will be a useful aid for anyone who needs to perform electrical calculations.

• Input Power: Enter the power rating of your device or system in kilowatts.
• Input Voltage: Enter the supply voltage, in volts. This is the voltage your device or system needs to operate properly.
• Input Power Factor: Input Power Factor (PF), which is a value between 0 and 1 that indicates how efficiently electricity is actually utilized. For most household appliances and industrial equipment, the power factor is usually close to 1.
• Calculate Current: By clicking on the “Calculate Amps” button, the calculator will automatically calculate the required current based on the input power, voltage, and power factor, and display the result in amperes.

Assuming you have a motor rated at 1.5 kW with a supply voltage of 230 volts and a power factor of 0.9, entering these values into the calculator and clicking on the “Calculate Amps” button will give you the current required to run the motor at approximately 6.52 amps.

NOTE: This calculator provides an estimate only; actual current may vary due to a variety of factors (e.g., equipment aging, load variations, etc.).

When designing a solar photovoltaic (PV) system, it is necessary to select the appropriate PV modules (panels). With the kW to Amps Calculator, the current (A) required for the system can be calculated based on the power rating of the modules (kW) and the expected operating voltage (V). This helps to determine the number and size of PV modules required to ensure that the system is able to meet the expected power generation demand.

The inverter is the key device that converts the DC power generated by the PV modules into AC power. Its rated capacity is usually matched to the total power (kW) of the PV system. With the kW to Amps Calculator, the maximum current output of a PV system at a specific voltage can be estimated to select the right inverter to ensure that it can safely and efficiently process the power generated by the PV system.
