Ampere (A)
The ampere (A) is the SI base unit of electric current — one coulomb of charge passing a point per second.
Amperes quantify circuit current, fuse ratings, charger output, and any flow of electric charge in conductors.

How to convert
Exact conversion factors in both directions, plus a worked example.
1 A = 0.001 kA
1 kA = 1000 A
To convert ampere to kiloampere, multiply by 0.001.
To convert kiloampere to ampere, multiply by 1000.
Example: convert 10 A to kA
10 × 0.001 = 0.01 kA
About these units
Short background on the units used in this conversion.
Kiloampere (kA)
The kiloampere (kA) equals 1,000 amperes — used for industrial busbars, smelting cells, and high-power distribution.
Kiloamperes describe short-circuit levels, electrolytic processes, and utility-scale fault currents.
Frequently asked questions
How many kiloamperes are in one ampere?
One ampere equals 0.001 kiloamperes. Multiply your amperes value by 0.001 to convert to kiloamperes.
What is the conversion formula?
kA = A × 0.001The reverse is
A = kA × 1,000, using the same exact factors as this converter.Is this Ampere to Kiloampere converter private?
