Hi,
Can anyone tell me the formula for converting KvA to amps?
I often need to make these calculations for my job as an event organiser. For examble you have a 500 KvA generator so how many amps 3phase do you have?
I believe to find usable KW you times by 0.8 (as you can only always use 80% of the power for constant supply), but I still can't work out the amps. for examble if you have a 2.5 KvA fridge (2.5 x 0.8 = 2KW) can that be powered safely by a 13 amp plug?
I'm based in England if that makes any difference.
Thanks for your help
Camilla
