Formulas

DC: kW to Amps

I_(A) = 1000 × P_(kW) ÷ V_(V)

1000 × 732 ÷ 400 = 731,997 ÷ 400 = 1,829.99 A

AC Single Phase (PF = 0.85)

I_(A) = 1000 × P_(kW) ÷ (PF × V_(V))

731,997 ÷ (0.85 × 400) = 731,997 ÷ 340 = 2,152.93 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

731,997 ÷ (1.732 × 0.85 × 400) = 731,997 ÷ 588.88 = 1,243 A

Power Factor Reference (AC three-phase)

How the line current for 732 kW at 400V 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	732 kW at 400V (AC three-phase)
Resistive (heaters, incandescent)	1	1,056.55 A
Fluorescent lamps	0.95	1,112.15 A
LED lighting	0.9	1,173.94 A
Synchronous motors	0.9	1,173.94 A
Typical mixed loads	0.85	1,243 A
Induction motors (full load)	0.8	1,320.68 A
Computers (without PFC)	0.65	1,625.46 A
Induction motors (no load)	0.35	3,018.7 A

AC Conversion Comparison

On DC, 732kW at 400V draws 1,829.99A. AC single-phase at PF 0.85 pulls 2,152.93A because reactive current is added on top of the real power. Three-phase at the same voltage needs only 1,243A per line since the same 732kW is shared across three conductors instead of one.

Circuit Type	Formula	Result
DC	731,997 ÷ 400	1,829.99 A
AC Single Phase (PF 0.85)	731,997 ÷ (0.85 × 400)	2,152.93 A
AC Three Phase (PF 0.85)	731,997 ÷ (1.732 × 0.85 × 400)	1,243 A
