Frequently Asked Questions

How many amps is 475 kVA at 400V (3-Phase)?

At 400V Three-Phase AC (IEC Europe), 475 kVA equals 685.6 Amps at an industrial power factor of 0.85 (or 685.6 Amps at unity power factor 1.0).

What size breaker and wire is needed for 475 kVA at 400V?

For 685.6A continuous load, NEC requires a 125% rated breaker of 1000A with 2× 1000 kcmil (Parallel) copper conductors, while IEC standard sizing uses a 700A breaker with 2× 400 mm² copper cable.
