Conversion Centre

Convert electrical and engineering units with the factor shown. Each quantity converts only within itself, because turning amps into kW or kVA into kW is a calculation, not a unit change.

When a unit converter is not enough

These need more than a factor, so they have their own calculators with the formula and working shown.

Frequently asked questions

Can I convert amps to kW with a unit converter?

No. Amps measure current and kW measures power. Going from one to the other needs the voltage and, for AC, the power factor and number of phases. The Elecmetric amps to kW calculator covers DC, single-phase and three-phase.

Why does the converter keep kW, kVA and kVAR apart?

They are different quantities: real, apparent and reactive power. A fixed factor between them would be wrong. kVA to kW depends on the power factor of the load.

Where do the conversion factors come from?

From the unit table in the Elecmetric engine, the same table the calculators use. It is checked against separately coded factors in the test suite.
