I need help (KVA) again (incorrect addition on previous post

[george]

Hi,

I would like to know the Kva for the following appliances.

4 freezers at 5 amps each

3 chiller units at 3 amps each

2 chillers at 35 amps each.

I do not know if they are resistive or conductive(if that is necessary
for the answer)

Would the answer be 99 * 240 /1000 = 23.76??

Hope you can help.

Confused

It's not "conductive", it's "reactive", but if you're taking the
ratings from the nameplates and you're running the appliances on 240V
mains then, yes, it's 23.76 kVA,

Notice that John write kVA as opposed to your Kva...John is right so write
the units that way.

Thanks for your help. You see, I have a shop and I am having a new
supply of electricity and I have beeen asked for kVA(now I know the
answer I can take it a stage further and contact an electrician to do
the necessary work)
