Formulas

DC: kW to Amps

I(A) = 1000 × P(kW) ÷ V(V)

1000 × 17.67 ÷ 24 = 17,667 ÷ 24 = 736.13 A

AC Single Phase (PF = 0.85)

I(A) = 1000 × P(kW) ÷ (PF × V(V))

17,667 ÷ (0.85 × 24) = 17,667 ÷ 20.4 = 866.03 A

Frequently Asked Questions

17.67 kW at 24V draws about 736.13 amps on DC. Alternate cases at the same voltage: 866.03A on AC single-phase.
17.67 kW is typically three-phase in commercial and industrial settings.
17.67 kW equals 17,667 watts. Multiply kilowatts by 1000.
17.67 kW costs $3.00 per hour at $0.17/kWh (US residential average, last reviewed April 2026). At 8 hours/day that is $720.81 per month.
On AC single-phase, current scales inversely with power factor. At PF 1.0 (pure resistive, like a heater), 17.67 kW at 24V draws 736.13A. At PF 0.80 (typical induction motor), the same real power draws 920.16A. The extra current is reactive and does no real work, but still flows through the wire and the breaker.
