Frequently Asked Questions

How many amps is 210 kVA at 230V (1-Phase)?

At 230V Single-Phase AC (IEC), 210 kVA equals 913.04 Amps at an industrial power factor of 0.85 (or 913.04 Amps at unity power factor 1.0).

What size breaker and wire is needed for 210 kVA at 230V?

For 913.04A continuous load, NEC requires a 125% rated breaker of 1200A with 2× 1000 kcmil (Parallel) copper conductors, while IEC standard sizing uses a 1000A breaker with 2× 400 mm² copper cable.
