I need help (KVA)

Apr 07, 2005 2 Replies

Hi,



I would like to know the Kva for the following appliances.


4 freezers at 5 amps each


3 chiller units at 3 amps each


2 chillers at 35 amps each.

I do not know if they are resistive or conductive(if that is necessary for the answer)



Would the answer be 79 * 240 /1000 = 18.96??



Hope you can help.



Confused



If all you appliances are running off of 240 you're almost correct... you for got to add in the 4 freezers so add 20 more amps and you should come up with 23.76kVA

That is an upper limit - assuming all are running at the currents given and all are at the same power factor.
