kW / kVA / Amps Converter
10 kW at 380 V three-phase and 0.85 power factor is 11.8 kVA and 17.9 A — and running 8 hours a day it costs about ₱29,200 a month at ₱12/kWh.
Enter any one of the three — kW, kVA or amps — with your voltage and power factor. The other two appear instantly, along with the running cost per day and per month in pesos.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert kW to amps?
Three-phase: A = kW × 1000 ÷ (1.732 × V × PF). Single-phase: drop the 1.732. Example: 10 kW at 380 V, PF 0.85 → 17.9 A.
What is the difference between kW and kVA?
kW is real power — work actually done. kVA is apparent power — what the supply must carry, including the reactive part. kW = kVA × PF. A 100 kVA transformer at 0.85 PF serves at most 85 kW.
How much does a 10 kW load cost per month?
kW × hours/day × 30.4 × tariff. At 8 h/day and ₱12/kWh: 10 × 8 × 30.4 × 12 ≈ ₱29,200/month. If that 10 kW is resistance heating, a heat pump makes the same heat for about a quarter of it.
What voltage is standard in the Philippines?
230 V single-phase and 380 V three-phase at 60 Hz. Single-phase comfortably serves loads to roughly 7 kW; bigger machines normally take three-phase.
Is That Load Heating Something?
If the kW you just converted is making hot water or hot air with resistance elements, a heat pump delivers the same heat for about a quarter of the running cost. Worth five minutes.
