KW to current and KVA to current conversion. It is very easy to calculate the current when you know the thumb rule.
Single Phase Load Current Calculation:
For 10 KW motor, motor current= 10 x 5 A= 50 A
For 100 KW motor, motor current= 100 x 5 A= 500 A
For 60 KVA Transformer, transformer current= 60 x 5 A= 300 A
Formula
Current= KW x 5 A or KVA x 5 A
Three Phase Load Current Calculation:
For 10 KW motor, motor current= 10 x 5 A /3= 50 A/3=16.66A
For 100 KW motor, motor current= 100 x 5 A /3= 500 A/3=163.66A
For 60 KVA Transformer, transformer current= 60 x 5 A/3= 300 A/3=100A
Formula
Current= KW x( 5/3)A or KVA x (5/3) A
