63 kVA to Amps

63 kVA is 90.93 A at 400 V and 3.307 A at 11 kV (three-phase), and 273.9 A at 230 V single-phase. Table for common supplies and the formula.

63 kVA at 400 V, three-phase =
90.93 A

Formula

I = S × 1,000 / V (single-phase) I = S × 1,000 / (√3 × V) (three-phase)

Worked example

  1. Three-phase, 400 V: I = 63 × 1,000 / (√3 × 400) = 90.93 A
  2. Single-phase, 230 V: I = 63 × 1,000 / 230 = 273.9 A

What 63 kVA looks like

63 kVA is a common small distribution transformer rating.

This is the rated current only. Cable, breaker and protection settings also depend on the installation, inrush, the rules you work to and the transformer data sheet.

Frequently asked questions

How many amps is 63 kVA?

63 kVA is 90.93 A on a 400 V three-phase supply, 87.65 A at 415 V and 3.307 A at 11 kV. On a 230 V single-phase supply it is 273.9 A. The current depends on the voltage, so there is no single answer.

Why is no power factor needed?

kVA is apparent power, which is voltage times current (times √3 for three-phase). The power factor only matters when you convert kVA to kW.

Is this the rated current of a transformer?

It is the rated line current at that voltage for a balanced load: kVA × 1,000 / (√3 × V). Inrush, overload and fault current are separate questions.
