How to Calculate Watts, Volts, Amps, And PF / Single Phase 3 Phase

How to Calculate Watts, Volts, Amps, and Power Factor (PF) for Single-Phase and Three-Phase Systems

Calculating electrical parameters such as watts, volts, amps, and power factor (PF) is essential for understanding how electrical systems function. Whether you’re working with single-phase or three-phase systems, knowing how to perform these calculations can help in various applications, from home electrical systems to industrial setups. With our online calculator, you can easily get results within seconds by entering your values.

Understanding the Basics

  1. Watts (W): The unit of power, which measures the rate at which energy is used.
  2. Volts (V): The unit of electric potential, representing the difference in electric charge.
  3. Amps (A): The unit of electric current, measuring the flow of electric charge.
  4. Power Factor (PF): A measure of how effectively electrical power is being converted into useful work output, expressed as a decimal.

In a single-phase system, you can calculate the relationship between watts, volts, and amps using the following formulas:

Formulas for Single-Phase Systems

  1. WATTS CALCULATION Watts (W) = Volt x Amps x pf
  2. VOLTAGE CALCULATION Volts (V) = Watts / Amps x pf
  3. Current (Amps) CALCULATION Amps(I) = Watts / volts x pf
  4. POWER FACTOR (PF) PF = Watts / volts x Amps

Formulas for Three-Phase Systems

In a three-phase system, the calculations differ slightly due to the nature of three-phase power. Here are the key formulas:

1.WATTS CALCULATION Watts (W) = 1.732 x Volt x Amps x pf

2.VOLTAGE CALCULATION Volts (V) = Watts / 1.732 x Amps x pf

3.Current (Amps) CALCULATION Amps(I) = Watts / 1.732 x volts x pf

3.POWER FACTOR (PF) PF = Watts / 1.732 x volts x Amps
