KVA Calculation

[dodge26]

Just checking I have got the right answer , Got 50 KVA on a 3 phase system, I calculate it as 72.25 amps per phase?

I would say thats right.

50 / 0.230 = 217.39 / 3 = 72 Amps

Thanks, been a while since the college days.

You don't give a voltage. Imposible to say.

You're right for 400V. Apparent Power (in VA) = 1.73 * Current (in Amps) * Potential Difference (in Volts).

That assumes a balanced load

with unity pf if you need to know kW.
