Reference boundary

Preliminary inverter current arithmetic only. It does not size breakers, conductors, disconnects, or continuous-load treatment.

Reference table

Estimate inverter AC output current from kW at common single-phase and three-phase voltages.

Formula basis uses single-phase and balanced three-phase AC power relationships at unity power factor.
