    E = Voltage / I = Amps /W = Watts / PF = Power Factor / Eff = Efficiency / HP = Horsepower

    AC/DC Formulas
    To Find Direct Current AC / 1phase AC / 1phase AC 3 phase
    115v or 120v 208,230, or 240v All Voltages
    Amps when HP x 746 HP x 746 HP x 746 HP x 746
    Horsepower is Known E x Eff E x Eff X PF E x Eff x PF 1.73 x E x Eff x PF
    Amps when kW x 1000 kW x 1000 kW x 1000 kW x 1000
    Kilowatts is known E E x PF E x PF 1.73 x E x PF
    Amps when kVA x 1000 kVA x 1000 kVA x 1000
    kVA is known E E 1.73 x E
    Kilowatts IxE I x E x PF I x E x PF I x E x 1.73 PF
    1000 1000 1000 1000
    Kilovolt-Amps IxE IxE I x E x 1.73
    1000 1000 1000
    Horsepower I x E x Eff I x E x Eff x PF I x E x Eff x PF I x E x Eff x 1.73 x PF
    (output) 746 746 746 746

    Three Phase Values


    For 208 volts x 1.732, use 360
    For 230 volts x 1.732, use 398
    For 240 volts x 1.732, use 416
    For 440 volts x 1.732, use 762
    For 460 volts x 1.732, use 797
    For 480 Volts x 1.732, use 831

    E = Voltage / I = Amps /W = Watts / PF = Power Factor / Eff = Efficiency / HP = Horsepower

    VD = CM
    Single Phase (Copper = 12.9 at 75°)
    (2 or 3 wire) 2K x L x I
    CM= (Alum = 21.2 at 75°)
    VD Note: K value changes with temperature.
    See Code chapter 9, Table 8
    1.73 x K x I x L
    VD= CM L = Length of conductor in feet
    Three Phase
    I = Current in conductor (amperes)
