​
Overview

The Current converter supports conversions between electrical current units, from small milliampere measurements to large kiloampere values.

​
Import

import { CurrentUnitConverter, CURRENT_UNIT } from 'univerto/current'

​
Available Units

The CURRENT_UNIT constant provides the following units:
  • MILLIAMPERE - Milliampere (mA)
  • AMPERE - Ampere (A)
  • KILOAMPERE - Kiloampere (kA)

​
Usage

import { CurrentUnitConverter, CURRENT_UNIT } from 'univerto/current'

// Convert 2500 mA to A
const amperes = CurrentUnitConverter.from(2500, CURRENT_UNIT.MILLIAMPERE)
  .to(CURRENT_UNIT.AMPERE)
  .convert()

console.log(amperes) // 2.5

​
Common Conversions

​
Electronic Devices

// LED current (mA to A)
const ledCurrent = CurrentUnitConverter.from(20, CURRENT_UNIT.MILLIAMPERE)
  .to(CURRENT_UNIT.AMPERE)
  .convert() // 0.02

// USB charging (A to mA)
const usbCurrent = CurrentUnitConverter.from(2.4, CURRENT_UNIT.AMPERE)
  .to(CURRENT_UNIT.MILLIAMPERE)
  .convert() // 2400

// Phone charger (mA to A)
const chargerCurrent = CurrentUnitConverter.from(1000, CURRENT_UNIT.MILLIAMPERE)
  .to(CURRENT_UNIT.AMPERE)
  .convert() // 1

​
Household & Industrial Applications

// Circuit breaker rating (A to mA)
const breakerRating = CurrentUnitConverter.from(15, CURRENT_UNIT.AMPERE)
  .to(CURRENT_UNIT.MILLIAMPERE)
  .convert() // 15000

// Motor current (A to kA)
const motorCurrent = CurrentUnitConverter.from(500, CURRENT_UNIT.AMPERE)
  .to(CURRENT_UNIT.KILOAMPERE)
  .convert() // 0.5

// Power distribution (kA to A)
const distributionCurrent = CurrentUnitConverter.from(2.5, CURRENT_UNIT.KILOAMPERE)
  .to(CURRENT_UNIT.AMPERE)
  .convert() // 2500

​
Sensor & Measurement Applications

// Sensor signal (mA to A)
const sensorSignal = CurrentUnitConverter.from(4, CURRENT_UNIT.MILLIAMPERE)
  .to(CURRENT_UNIT.AMPERE)
  .convert() // 0.004

// Current loop (mA standard)
const currentLoop = CurrentUnitConverter.from(20, CURRENT_UNIT.MILLIAMPERE)
  .to(CURRENT_UNIT.AMPERE)
  .convert() // 0.02
