To calculate the amps from watts, you need to know the voltage. Using the formula Amps = Watts / Volts, if we assume a standard voltage of 120V in a household, then 8000 watts would be approximately 66.67 amps.

It depends on your voltage.

Power (P) = Current (I) * Voltage (V)

800 amps at 1 volt is 800 watts or 0.8 kW.

800 amps at 120 volts is 96,000 watts or 96 kW.

800 amps at 34.5kV is 27,600,000 or 27,600 kW.

WATTS = Volts x Amps

For me to tell you what kind of amperage you're dealing with you'd have to tell me what voltage you're using. Or you could simply do the math yourself.

Simply divide the watts by the volts and you'll get amps.

Watts = Current x Voltage x Power Factor

KW is just 1000 Watts.

Therefore you have to know the voltage and Power Factor (PF = 1 for resistive load and less than one for a motor)

So KW = (800 x Volts x PF) / 1000
