Amps Per Kilowatt Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Current (I) from Power (P) and Voltage (V):

$I = \frac{P \times 1000}{V}$

Where:

$I$ is the current (amps)
$P$ is the power (kilowatts)
$V$ is the voltage (volts)

What is Amps Per Kilowatt?

Amps per kilowatt is a way of expressing the current draw of an electrical system given a certain amount of power in kilowatts and a specific voltage. This is a common calculation in electrical engineering and is important for ensuring that electrical systems are properly designed and safely operated.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Power (P) = 5 kilowatts
Voltage (V) = 240 volts

Using the formula:

$I = \frac{5 \times 1000}{240} = 20.83$

The Current is 20.83 amps.
