Frequently Asked Questions

How many amps is 2.2 kVA at 600V (3-Phase)?

At 600V Three-Phase AC (Canada / Heavy), 2.2 kVA equals 2.12 Amps at an industrial power factor of 0.85 (or 2.12 Amps at unity power factor 1.0).

What size breaker and wire is needed for 2.2 kVA at 600V?

For 2.12A continuous load, NEC requires a 125% rated breaker of 6A with 14 AWG copper conductors, while IEC standard sizing uses a 6A breaker with 1.5 mm² copper cable.
