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.
