    Here are some common formulas that are frequently used in the field.

    Options:
    - Motor Formulas - Transformer Formulas E = Voltage / I = Amps /W = Watts / PF = Power Factor / Eff = Efficiency / HP = Horsepower

    AC/DC Formulas
    To Find Amps when Horsepower is Known Amps when Kilowatts is known Amps when kVA is known Kilowatts Kilovolt-Amps Horsepower (output) Direct Current AC / 1phase 115v or 120v AC / 1phase 208,230, or 240v AC 3 phase All Voltages

    HP x 746 E x Eff kW x 1000 E

    IxE 1000

    I x E x Eff 746

    HP x 746 E x Eff X PF kW x 1000 E x PF kVA x 1000 E I x E x PF 1000 IxE 1000 I x E x Eff x PF 746

    HP x 746 E x Eff x PF kW x 1000 E x PF kVA x 1000 E I x E x PF 1000 IxE 1000 I x E x Eff x PF 746

    HP x 746 1.73 x E x Eff x PF kW x 1000 1.73 x E x PF kVA x 1000 1.73 x E I x E x 1.73 PF 1000 I x E x 1.73 1000 I x E x Eff x 1.73 x PF 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

    Efficiency Power Factor

    746 x HP E x I x PF Input Watts VxA

    746 x HP E x I x PF x 1.732 Input Watts E x I x 1.732

    Power - DC Circuits
    Watts = Amps = E xI W/E

    Ohm's Law / Power Formulas

    P = watts I = amps R = ohms E = Volts

    Voltage Drop Formulas


    Single Phase (2 or 3 wire) VD = CM= VD= Three Phase CM=
    1.73 x K x L x I VD 2xKxIxL CM 2K x L x I VD 1.73 x K x I x L CM K = ohms per mil foot (Copper = 12.9 at 75 ) (Alum = 21.2 at 75 )
    Note:

    K value changes with temperature. See Code chapter 9, Table 8

    L = Length of conductor in feet I= CM Current in conductor (amperes) = Circular mil area of conductor
