How to convert kVA to amps

I wanted to write a program that convert kVA to amps. I search for the equation so i found this details

You can calculate amps from kilovolt-amps and volts, but you can't convert kilovolt-amps  to amps since kilovolt-amps and amps units do not measure the same quantity.

Single phase kVA to amps calculation formula

The phase current I in amps is equal to 1000 times the apparent power S in kilovolt-amps, divided by the RMS voltage V in volts:

• I_(A) = 1000 × S_(kVA) / V_(V)

So amps are equal to 1000 times kilovolt-amps divided by volts.

• amps = 1000 × kVA / volts

or

• A = 1000 ⋅ kVA / V

Example

Question: What is the phase current in amps when the apparent power is 3 kVA and the RMS voltage supply is 110 volts?

Solution:

• I = 1000 × 3kVA / 110V = 27.27A

3 phase kVA to amps calculation formula

Calculation with line to line voltage

The phase current I in amps is equal to 1000 times the apparent power S in kilovolt-amps, divided by the square root of 3 times the line to line RMS voltage V in volts:

• I_(A) = 1000 × S_(kVA) / (√3 × V_L-L(V) )

So amps are equal to 1000 times kilovolt-amps divided by the square root of 3 times volts.

• amps = 1000 × kVA / (√3 × volts)

or

• A = 1000 ⋅ kVA / (√3 × V)

Example

Question: What is the phase current in amps when the apparent power is 3 kVA and the line to line RMS voltage supply is 190 volts?

Solution:

• I = 1000 × 3kVA / (√3 × 190V) = 9.116A

Calculation with line to neutral voltage

The phase current I in amps is equal to 1000 times the apparent power S in kilovolt-amps, divided by 3 times the line to line RMS voltage V in volts:

• I_(A) = 1000 × S_(kVA) / (3 × V_L-N(V) )

So amps are equal to 1000 times kilovolt-amps divided by 3 times volts.

• amps = 1000 × kVA / (3 × volts)

or

• A = 1000 ⋅ kVA / (3 × V)

Example

Question: What is the phase current in amps when the apparent power is 3 kVA and the line to neutral RMS voltage supply is 120 volts?

Solution:

• I = 1000 × 3kVA / (3 × 120V) = 8.333A
