Frequently Asked Questions

How many amps is 9 kVA at 600V (3-Phase)?

At 600V Three-Phase AC (Canada / Heavy), 9 kVA equals 8.66 Amps at an industrial power factor of 0.85 (or 8.66 Amps at unity power factor 1.0).

What size breaker and wire is needed for 9 kVA at 600V?

For 8.66A continuous load, NEC requires a 125% rated breaker of 13A with 14 AWG copper conductors, while IEC standard sizing uses a 10A breaker with 1.5 mm² copper cable.
