Inputs

Calculation note

This is a balanced three-phase arithmetic conversion. Use representative measured data before treating the output as demand or equipment load.

Method

kVA = sqrt(3) x volts x amps / 1000

kW = kVA x power factor

Watts = kW x 1000

Formula variables

  • Amps are the entered three-phase line current.
  • Voltage is the line-line nominal voltage.
  • Power factor converts apparent power to real power.
  • kW is an arithmetic estimate and not a billing-demand determination.

Assumptions

  • The calculator assumes a balanced three-phase load.
  • Power factor is entered by the user and converts kVA into kW.
  • Measured current should be steady and representative before using the output.
  • This calculator does not verify demand, duty cycle, harmonic content, or equipment loading limits.

Examples

Measured 600 V load. 80 A at 600 V and 0.90 PF estimates about 83.14 kVA and 74.82 kW.

Power study workflow. Use actual meter data and demand intervals before treating a current reading as a load or billing value.
