I need to know how many KVA is 800 amps at 208V

166.4 kva
Addendum:
I*E= VA/1000 = kVA (800)*(208)/1000 = 166.4 kVA

This is incorrect:
166.4 kva
Addendum:
I*E= VA/1000 = kVA (800)*(208)/1000 = 166.4 kVA
208 Volt is from a 3 phase system.
Therefore:
KVA = (I x E x 1.73) / 1000
KVA = 287.872

You don't know what a transformer is by your question posted in the Electrical Forum, and you think the wrong answer is a good answer?

SIR,
We have 1 500kva Gen Set three phase. From this Gen Set Maximum How much amps we can use?

The formula is:
KVA= I x E x 1.73/1000
To complete the calculation, the voltage is needed.
