Frequently Asked Questions

How many amps is 75 kVA at 600V (3-Phase)?

At 600V Three-Phase AC (Canada / Heavy), 75 kVA equals 72.17 Amps at an industrial power factor of 0.85 (or 72.17 Amps at unity power factor 1.0).

What size breaker and wire is needed for 75 kVA at 600V?

For 72.17A continuous load, NEC requires a 125% rated breaker of 100A with 4 AWG copper conductors, while IEC standard sizing uses a 80A breaker with 16 mm² copper cable.
