Transformer kVA Calculator

Single-phase uses V x I / 1000. Three-phase uses sqrt(3) x line-to-line voltage x line current / 1000.
Calculate from volts and amps, or from real power and power factor.
Line-to-line voltage for three-phase loads, or winding/load voltage for single-phase.
V
Line current in amperes.
A
Used to convert kW to kVA and to estimate real kW when amps are entered.
Extra capacity before rounding to the next listed standard size.

Method notes 2 notes
  • Three-phase kVA uses sqrt(3) x line-to-line volts x line current / 1000.
  • This is a transformer apparent-power screen. Final selection still needs continuous-load rules, inrush, motor starting, harmonic heating, impedance, enclosure, temperature rise, primary/secondary protection and local code review.
