1 kVA full-load current
| Voltage | Amps |
|---|---|
| 120 V single-phase | 8.3 A |
| 240 V single-phase | 4.2 A |
| 208 V three-phase | 2.8 A |
| 240 V three-phase | 2.4 A |
| 480 V three-phase | 1.2 A |
| 600 V three-phase | 1.0 A |
Single-phase I = kVA × 1000 ÷ V; three-phase I = kVA × 1000 ÷ (√3 × V).
