10 kW to Amps
10 kW is 41.7 amps at 240 V single-phase and 12 amps at 480 V three-phase (at unity power factor). Single- and three-phase tables below.
10 kW to Amps conversion table
| System | Amps (PF 1.0) | Amps (PF 0.8) |
|---|---|---|
| 120 V single-phase | 83.3 A | 104 A |
| 240 V single-phase | 41.7 A | 52.1 A |
| 208 V three-phase | 27.8 A | 34.7 A |
| 480 V three-phase | 12 A | 15 A |
PF = power factor. Resistive loads (heaters, incandescent lights) are PF 1.0; motors and compressors typically run PF 0.8-0.9. For a different value, use the interactive converter.
Frequently asked questions
41.7 amps single-phase (10 kW = 10,000 W ÷ 240 V). For a continuous 10 kW load — an EV charger, for instance — the circuit must be sized 25% above that.
