A volt-amp or VA is equivalent to watts, provided the voltage and amperage are in phase. So 1 kilo volt amp is the same as 1 kilowatt.
Wattage, or power, is equal to volts times amps.
So the original question is effectively nonsense. The number of amps depends on the voltage. If the voltage is 1000 volts, then there's 1 amp in 1 kilo volt amp. If the voltage is 1 volt, then there's 1000 amps. If there's 50 volts, then the amperage is 20 amps. And so on.

You need to know amps to answer this... Amps x Volts=watts
One horsepower (hp) equals 746 Watts (W), regardless of voltage (V). Kilo-Volt-Amps, often expressed as "KVA" is a commonly used unit of power. 1 Watt is defined as 1VA. 1 KVA equals 1000 Watts. 1 HP = 746 Watts = 0.746KVA and therefore 1KVA = 1000W = 1.34hp
Since watts and volt-amps are different units of power, you cannot directly convert watts to volt-amps without considering the power factor of the load. In an ideal resistive circuit, 100 watts would be equivalent to 100 volt-amps. However, in practical applications with reactive components, the relationship between watts and volt-amps can vary.
1 kVA is equal to 1,000 volt-amperes. The conversion between volt-amperes (VA) and watts (W) depends on the power factor of the load. For resistive loads and a power factor of 1 (unity), 1 kVA is equal to 1 kW (kilowatt). However, for loads with different power factors, the relationship between kVA and kW varies.
For a 1kVA (kilo volt-ampere) load at 120V, the amperage would be approximately 8.33A (1000VA / 120V). This calculation is based on the formula: Amps = VA / Volts.
