A to kW – Convert Amperes to kiloWatts

Convert current in amps to kilowatts. 10 A at 230 V, unity power factor, equals 2.3 kW.

Current in amps (A)

Voltage in volts (V)

Power factor (1 = DC/resistive; 0.8 typical AC motor)

— kW —

Current (A)	Voltage (V)	PF	Power (kW)

How to convert amps to kilowatts

kW = A × V × power factor ÷ 1000. Use PF = 1 for DC or resistive loads; ~0.8 for AC motors.

Ignoring the power factor on AC inductive loads. A 10 A × 230 V motor at PF 0.8 is 1.84 kW, not 2.3 kW.
