Kiloampere Converters

Convert kiloamperes to amperes, milliamperes, megaamperes and other electric current units.

What this tool does

Convert kiloamperes to amperes, milliamperes, megaamperes and other electric current units. Type an amount in kiloamperes, choose the units, and the tool converts it to amperes. It offers 8 electric current units and also shows the same amount in the others.

Inputs

  • Value: A number.
  • From: Choose one: Megaampere, Kiloampere, Ampere, Milliampere, Microampere, Nanoampere, Abampere (biot), Statampere (ESU of current). Starts as Kiloampere.
  • To: Choose one of the same 8 units as "From". Starts as Ampere.

How to use

  1. Enter the amount you want to convert.
  2. Choose the unit to convert from and the unit to convert to.
  3. Read the result: the converted amount and the same amount in the other units. It appears once every required field has a valid value.

Worked examples

Conversions from kiloamperes to amperes:

  • 1 kA = 1,000 A
  • 5 kA = 5,000 A
  • 10 kA = 10,000 A
  • 50 kA = 50,000 A
  • 100 kA = 100,000 A

Multiply the number of kiloamperes by 1,000 to get amperes. Both units are exact definitions, so 1,000 is the exact factor: 1 kA = 1,000 A.

Limitations

  • Converts the unit of an electric current only. It does not work out current from power, voltage or resistance.
  • Abampere and statampere are historical CGS units, listed for completeness.

FAQs

Q: How many amperes is one kiloampere?
A: One kiloampere is 1000 amperes.
Q: How many kiloamperes is one megaampere?
