Well, isn't that a happy little question! To figure out how many amps 1 megawatt is at 480 volts in a 3-phase system, we need to use the formula P (watts) = √3 × PF × I (amps) × V (volts). Since we know the power (1 megawatt = 1,000,000 watts) and the voltage (480 volts), we can rearrange the formula to solve for the current (amps). So, 1 megawatt at 480 volts in a 3-phase system is approximately 1202 amps. Happy calculating!

To calculate the amperage in a 480-volt 3-phase system for a 1 megawatt load, use the formula: Amps = (Power in Watts) / (Square Root of 3 x Voltage x Power Factor). Assuming a power factor of 1, you would have approximately 1207 amps.
The equation you need to find amperage when kilowatts are known. Amps = kW x 1000/1.73 x volts x PF. Use .9 as a Power Factor constant.First megawatts must be changed to kilowatts. 1000000/1000 = 1000 kilowatts. Amps = 1000 x 1000/ 1.73 x 480 x .9 = 1000000/747 = 1338.6 amps.
One Megawatt = 1,000,000 watts. Watts = Volts x Amps or voltage x current. Hence if you know the voltage then Amps = 1,000,000 watts / Volts.
To calculate the amperage for a 10kW heater on a 3-phase 220V system, use the formula: Amps = (kW x 1000) / (√3 x Volts). So, Amps = (10 x 1000) / (√3 x 220) = 26.18 amps per phase. Therefore, the total current drawn by the heater is 26.18 amps per phase multiplied by 3, which equals approximately 78.54 amps.
In a three-phase 225 amp panelboard, each phase will carry 225 amps. This means that the total current flowing through the panelboard is distributed evenly across the three phases, allowing for a maximum of 225 amps on each phase at a time.
In a three phase 225 amp panel, there would be a total of 225 amps available for each phase, making it a total of 675 amps for all three phases combined. This means that you could have up to 225 amps of current flowing through each phase simultaneously.
The equation that you are looking for is Amps = Watts/Volts. There are 6000 watts in 6kW.
