It doesn't 'equate' to current (amperes) because they are two quite different quantities. However, you can find out how much line current is flowing (for a balanced load only) if you divide the number of volt amperes by (1.732 x VL), where VL is the line voltage.

In a 3-phase system, the formula to convert kVA to amps is: Amps = (kVA × 1000) / (√3 × Volts). Assuming a standard voltage of 480V, the calculation would be: (160 × 1000) / (√3 × 480) ≈ 193.5A per phase.
