Formulas

DC: kW to Amps

I_(A) = 1000 × P_(kW) ÷ V_(V)

1000 × 23.71 ÷ 24 = 23,712 ÷ 24 = 988 A

AC Single Phase (PF = 0.85)

I_(A) = 1000 × P_(kW) ÷ (PF × V_(V))

23,712 ÷ (0.85 × 24) = 23,712 ÷ 20.4 = 1,162.35 A

Power Factor Reference (DC)

How the line current for 23.71 kW at 24V changes with load power factor, on the same DC circuit basis the rest of the page uses. DC has no power factor; PF 1.0 represents resistive AC loads.

Load Type	PF	23.71 kW at 24V (DC)
Resistive (heaters, incandescent)	1	988 A
Fluorescent lamps	0.95	988 A
LED lighting	0.9	988 A
Synchronous motors	0.9	988 A
Typical mixed loads	0.85	988 A
Induction motors (full load)	0.8	988 A
Computers (without PFC)	0.65	988 A
Induction motors (no load)	0.35	988 A

AC Conversion Comparison

On DC, 23.71kW at 24V draws 988A. AC single-phase at PF 0.85 pulls 1,162.35A because reactive current is added on top of the real power.

Circuit Type	Formula	Result
DC	23,712 ÷ 24	988 A
AC Single Phase (PF 0.85)	23,712 ÷ (0.85 × 24)	1,162.35 A
