Formulas

DC: kW to Amps

I_(A) = 1000 × P_(kW) ÷ V_(V)

1000 × 668 ÷ 575 = 668,000 ÷ 575 = 1,161.74 A

AC Single Phase (PF = 0.85)

I_(A) = 1000 × P_(kW) ÷ (PF × V_(V))

668,000 ÷ (0.85 × 575) = 668,000 ÷ 488.75 = 1,366.75 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

668,000 ÷ (1.732 × 0.85 × 575) = 668,000 ÷ 846.52 = 789.09 A

Power Factor Reference (AC three-phase)

How the line current for 668 kW at 575V changes with load power factor, on the same AC three-phase circuit basis the rest of the page uses. DC has no power factor; PF 1.0 represents resistive AC loads.

Load Type	PF	668 kW at 575V (AC three-phase)
Resistive (heaters, incandescent)	1	670.73 A
Fluorescent lamps	0.95	706.03 A
LED lighting	0.9	745.26 A
Synchronous motors	0.9	745.26 A
Typical mixed loads	0.85	789.09 A
Induction motors (full load)	0.8	838.41 A
Computers (without PFC)	0.65	1,031.89 A
Induction motors (no load)	0.35	1,916.37 A

AC Conversion Comparison

On DC, 668kW at 575V draws 1,161.74A. AC single-phase at PF 0.85 pulls 1,366.75A because reactive current is added on top of the real power. Three-phase at the same voltage needs only 789.09A per line since the same 668kW is shared across three conductors instead of one.

Circuit Type	Formula	Result
DC	668,000 ÷ 575	1,161.74 A
AC Single Phase (PF 0.85)	668,000 ÷ (0.85 × 575)	1,366.75 A
AC Three Phase (PF 0.85)	668,000 ÷ (1.732 × 0.85 × 575)	789.09 A
