💡 Tips

💡Always enter the correct voltage (120V, 220V, 240V, 480V etc.) for your system.
💡For 3-phase systems, use the 3-phase formula option if available.
💡Power factor is typically 0.8–0.95 — use 0.85 if unsure.
💡Always verify calculated values against local electrical codes (NEC, IEC).

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert Amps to VA?

Use the formula: VA = Amps × Volts

What voltage should I use?

Use your system voltage — 120V or 240V for US residential, 230V for UK/EU.

What is power factor?

Power factor (0–1) represents how efficiently power is used. Use 0.8 as a safe default.

Is the calculator accurate?

Yes, it uses standard electrical engineering formulas.

Is it free?

Yes, completely free.

Should I rely on this for wiring?

Always verify with a licensed electrician before making wiring decisions.

Does it support 3-phase?

Yes, select the 3-phase option if your system uses three-phase power.

What is the difference between kVA and kW?

kW is real power; kVA is apparent power. kW = kVA × Power Factor.

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

⚠️Using the wrong voltage (120V vs 240V) — this halves or doubles results.
⚠️Ignoring power factor for AC circuits — can cause undersized equipment.
⚠️Confusing single-phase and three-phase formulas.
⚠️Using DC formulas for AC circuits without power factor adjustment.

About Amps to VA Calculator

The Amps to VA calculator computes the apparent electrical power in Volt-Amperes. VA is equivalent to volts multiplied by amps. It represents the actual workload flowing in the electrical system, without compensating for power factor phase shifts in inductive or capacitive AC circuits.
