    To convert volts to watts, you must use the formula that calculates watts as volts multiplied by amps. For DC circuits, watts equal volts times amps. For AC single phase circuits, watts equal the power factor multiplied by amps multiplied by volts. For AC three phase circuits, watts equal the square root of three multiplied by the power factor multiplied by amps multiplied by volts.

    How to convert volts to watts

    How to convert electrical voltage in volts (V) to electric power in watts (W). You can calculate watts from volts and amps, but you can't convert volts to watts since watts and volts units do not measure the same quantity.

    DC volts to watts calculation formula


    The power P in watts is equal to the voltage V in volts, times the current I in amps:

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


    So watts are equal to volts times amps:

    watt = volt amp


    or

    W=VA
    Example What is power consumption in watts when the current is 3A and the voltage supply is 15V? Answer: the power P is equal to current of 3 amps times the voltage of 15 volts.

    P = 15V 3A = 45W
    AC single phase volts to watts calculation formula
    The real power P in watts is equal to the power factor PF times the current I in amps, times the RMS voltage V in volts:

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


    So watts are equal to power factor times amps times volts:

    watt = PF amp volt


    or

    W = PF A V
    Example What is power consumption in watts when the power factor is 0.8 and the current is 3A and the voltage supply is 110V? Answer: the power P is equal to power factor of 0.8 times current of 3 amps times voltage of 110 volts.

    P = 0.8 3A 110V = 264W


    AC three phase volts to watts calculation formula
    The real power P in watts is equal to square root of 3 times the power factor PF times the current I in amps, times the line to line RMS voltage VL-L in volts:

    P(W) = 3 PF I(A) VL-L(V)


    So watts are equal to square root of 3 times power factor PF times amps times volts:

    watt = 3 PF amp volt


    or

    W = 3 PF A V
    Example

    What is power consumption in watts when the power factor is 0.8 and the current is 3A and the voltage supply is 110V? Answer: the power P is equal to power factor of 0.8 times current of 3 amps times the voltage of 110 volts.

    P(W) = 3 0.8 3A 110V = 457W
