Formulas

DC: kW to Amps

I(A) = 1000 × P(kW) ÷ V(V)

1000 × 515.93 ÷ 575 = 515,931 ÷ 575 = 897.27 A

AC Single Phase (PF = 0.85)

I(A) = 1000 × P(kW) ÷ (PF × V(V))

515,931 ÷ (0.85 × 575) = 515,931 ÷ 488.75 = 1,055.61 A

AC Three Phase (PF = 0.85)

I(A) = 1000 × P(kW) ÷ (√3 × PF × VL-L), where VL-L is the line-to-line voltage

515,931 ÷ (1.732 × 0.85 × 575) = 515,931 ÷ 846.52 = 609.46 A

AC Conversion Comparison

On DC, 515.93kW at 575V draws 897.27A. AC single-phase at PF 0.85 pulls 1,055.61A because reactive current is added on top of the real power. Three-phase at the same voltage needs only 609.46A per line since the same 515.93kW is shared across three conductors instead of one.
