How many kA in 1 ampere? The answer is 0.001. We assume you are converting between kiloampere and ampere. You can view more details on each measurement unit: kA or ampere The SI base unit for electric current is the ampere. 1 ampere is equal to 0.001 kA, or 1 ampere. Note that rounding errors may occur, so always check the results. Use this page to learn how to convert between kiloamperes and amperes. Type in your own numbers in the form to convert the units!
1 kA to ampere = 1000 ampere
2 kA to ampere = 2000 ampere
3 kA to ampere = 3000 ampere
4 kA to ampere = 4000 ampere
5 kA to ampere = 5000 ampere
6 kA to ampere = 6000 ampere
7 kA to ampere = 7000 ampere
8 kA to ampere = 8000 ampere
9 kA to ampere = 9000 ampere
10 kA to ampere = 10000 ampere
You can do the reverse unit conversion from ampere to kA, or enter any two units below:
The SI prefix "kilo" represents a factor of 103, or in exponential notation, 1E3.
So 1 kiloampere = 103 ampere.
In physics, the ampere (symbol: A, often informally abbreviated to amp) is the SI base unit used to measure electrical currents. The present definition, adopted by the 9th CGPM in 1948 is: "one ampere is that constant current which, if maintained in two straight parallel conductors of infinite length, of negligible circular cross-section, and placed one metre apart in vacuum, would produce between these conductors a force equal to 2 × 10-7 newton per metre of length".
