kVAR to Amps Conversion Calculator

kVAR to Amps Calculator:

Enter the kVAR, then choose single-phase or three-phase. Then press the calculate button to get the results of reactive current in amps. While choosing three-phase enter the line to line voltage.

kVAR to Amps Calculation Formula

The flow of current I_(A) Amps is equal to the 1000 times of reactive power in kilo Volt amp reactive Q_(kVAR) divided by the voltage V_(V) in volts. Let write the formula for kVAR to Amps conversion formula as below,

For single-phase,

I_(A) = 1000 x Q_(kVAR) / V_(V)

For three-phase,

While considering the phase voltage,

I_(A) = 1000 x Q_(kVAR) / 3 x V_(V)

While considering the Line voltage,

I_(A) = 1000 x Q_(kVAR) / (1.732 x V_(V))

Example 1:

Let we calculate the flow of current in Amps for 1kVAR capacitor bank connected in single-phase power supply at 230 volts, 0.9pf.

Let apply our formula

Current in Amps I_(A) = 1000 x 1 / (230)

Current = 1000 / (230)

= 4.3 Amps reactive

Hence 1 kVAR capacitor bank shall give you 4.3 A at 230 Volts.

Example 2:

Let we calculate the reactive current for 25kVAR capacitance bank which is connected to three-phase at the line voltage of 415 volts.

Apply our three-phase reactive current formula,

Current in Amps I_(A) = 1000 x 25 / (1.732 x 415)

= 34.78 Amps
