DC Watts to Amps calculation

The current I in amps (A) is equal to the power P in watts (W) divided by the voltage V in volts (V):

I(A) = P(W) / V(V)


AC Single Phase Watts to Amps calculation

The phase current I in amps (A) is equal to the power P in watts (W) divided by PF times the RMS voltage V in volts (V):

I(A) = P(W) / (PF * V(V))

The power factor of resistive impededance load is equal to 1.


AC Three Phase Watts to Amps calculation

Calculation with line to line voltage

The phase current I in amps (A) is equal to the power P in watts (W) divided by the square root of 3 times the power factor PF times the line to line RMS voltage VL-L in volts (V):

I(A) = P(W) / (√3 * PF * VL-L(V))

The power factor of resistive impedance load is equal to 1.

Calculation with line to neutral voltage

The phase current I in amps (A) is equal to the power P in watts (W) divided by 3 times the power factor PF times th line to neutral RMS voltage VL-N in volts (V):

I(A) = P(W) / (3 * PF * VL-N(V))

The power factor of resistive impedance load is equal to 1.
