What Is a Kiloampere?

A kiloampere is a unit used to measure electric current.

The kiloampere is a multiple of the ampere, which is the SI base unit for electric current. In the metric system, "kilo" is the prefix for thousands, or 103. A kiloampere is sometimes also referred to as a kiloamp. Kiloamperes can be abbreviated as kA; for example, 1 kiloampere can be written as 1 kA.

How Much Is a Kiloampere?

One kiloampere is equal to 1,000 amperes, which are the electrical current equal to the flow of one coulomb per second.

How to Convert Kiloamperes

To convert kiloamperes to another unit of electric current, you need to multiply the value by a conversion factor. A conversion factor is a numerical value used to change the units of a measurement without changing the value.[1]

You can find the conversion factors for kiloamperes in the conversion table below.

Then, multiply the electric current measurement by the conversion factor to find the equivalent value in the desired unit of measurement.

kiloamperes × conversion factor = result

You can also use a calculator, such as one of the converters below, for the conversion.
