kiloampere
A unit of electric current equal to 1,000 amperes. Used in technical and scientific contexts.
この送電線は最大で10キロアンペアの電流を流すことができる。
This transmission line can carry a current of up to 10 kiloamperes.
アンペア is the base unit of electric current; キロアンペア is 1,000 times larger.
ミリアンペア is one-thousandth of an ampere, used for smaller currents.
Borrowed from English 'kiloampere', combining the metric prefix 'kilo-' with 'ampere'.
