Frequently Asked Questions

How many amps is 84 kW at 600V (3-Phase)?

At 600V Three-Phase AC (Canada / Heavy), 84 kW equals 95.09 Amps at an industrial power factor of 0.85 (or 80.83 Amps at unity power factor 1.0).

What size breaker and wire is needed for 84 kW at 600V?

For 95.09A continuous load, NEC requires a 125% rated breaker of 125A with 3 AWG copper conductors, while IEC standard sizing uses a 100A breaker with 25 mm² copper cable.
