kVa of Three Phase A-C Circuits:


Three-wire (Balanced) kVa = Volts across any two wires x amperes in any wire x 1.732/1000 Three-wire (Unbalanced): kVa = Volts across any two wires x average of the amperes in the three wires x 1.732/1000 Four-wire (Balanced): kVa = Volts across any outside wire to neutral wire x amperes in any outside wire x 3/1000 Four-wire (Unbalanced): kVa = Volts across any outside wire to neutral wire x average of the amperes in three outside wires x 3/1000
