Conversion using the Amps to VA Formula
Single Phase Amps to VA Calculation formula
The Apparent Power S in Volt-amps is calculated as the Current I in amps A, times the voltage in volts v. Plug these values into the formula:
For Example, let's find the volt-amps for a single-phase circuit with 15 amps of current at 220 volts.
3-Phase Amps to VA Calculation formula
Calculation with Line to Line voltage
The Apparent Power S in Volt-amps VA us calculated as the square root of 3 times current I in Amps A, times the line-to-line Voltage VL-L in Volts V. Plug these values into the formula:
For Example, let's find the amps for a 440 volt 3-phase electrical circuit with 90 amps of current.
Calculation with Line to Neutral voltage
The Apparent Power S in Volt-amps VA us calculated as the 3 times current I in Amps A, times the line-to-neutral Voltage VL-N in Volts V. Plug these values into the formula:
For Example, let's find the amps for a 480 volt 3-phase electrical circuit with 70 amps of current.

Frequently Asked Questions - FAQs for Amps to VA Calculator
A KVA is simply 1000 volt-amps. A volt is an electrical pressure. An amp is an electrical current. A term called apparent power (VA) is equal to the product of the volts and amps.
Alternating Current) 4000 Volt Amps, is 4000 Watts for a purely resistive load. However, the current flow will be out of phase with respect to the voltage for an inductive (some motors) or capacitive (buried cables) load.
Watts = Amps x Volts
20 Amps x 120 Volts = 2400 Watts.
10 Amps x 230 Volts = 2300 Watts.
Now 1HP = 1492W=1.492kW=1.492kVA , assuming power Factor=1.
A volt-ampere (VA) is a measurement of Real power in a direct current (DC) electrical circuit. The VA specification is also used in alternating current (AC) circuits.
