How to convert
Exact conversion factors in both directions, plus a worked example.
1 kA = 1000 A
1 A = 0.001 kA
To convert kiloampere to ampere, multiply by 1000.
To convert ampere to kiloampere, multiply by 0.001.
Example: convert 10 kA to A
10 × 1000 = 10000 A
About these units
Short background on the units used in this conversion.
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.
Frequently asked questions
How many amperes are in one kiloampere?
One kiloampere equals 1,000 amperes. Multiply your kiloamperes value by 1,000 to convert to amperes.
What is the conversion formula?
A = kA × 1,000The reverse is
