Formulas

DC: kW to Amps

I_(A) = 1000 × P_(kW) ÷ V_(V)

1000 × 534 ÷ 400 = 533,997 ÷ 400 = 1,334.99 A

AC Single Phase (PF = 0.85)

I_(A) = 1000 × P_(kW) ÷ (PF × V_(V))

533,997 ÷ (0.85 × 400) = 533,997 ÷ 340 = 1,570.58 A

AC Three Phase (PF = 0.85)

I_(A) = 1000 × P_(kW) ÷ (√3 × PF × V_L-L), where V_L-L is the line-to-line voltage

533,997 ÷ (1.732 × 0.85 × 400) = 533,997 ÷ 588.88 = 906.77 A

Fluorescent lamps	0.95	811.32 A
LED lighting	0.9	856.4 A
Synchronous motors	0.9	856.4 A
Typical mixed loads	0.85	906.77 A
Induction motors (full load)	0.8	963.45 A
Computers (without PFC)	0.65	1,185.78 A
Induction motors (no load)	0.35	2,202.17 A

AC Conversion Comparison

On DC, 534kW at 400V draws 1,334.99A. AC single-phase at PF 0.85 pulls 1,570.58A because reactive current is added on top of the real power. Three-phase at the same voltage needs only 906.77A per line since the same 534kW is shared across three conductors instead of one.

Circuit Type	Formula	Result
DC	533,997 ÷ 400	1,334.99 A
AC Single Phase (PF 0.85)	533,997 ÷ (0.85 × 400)	1,570.58 A
AC Three Phase (PF 0.85)	533,997 ÷ (1.732 × 0.85 × 400)	906.77 A
