Conversion using the Amps to Watts Formula
DC Amps to Watts Calculation formula
The Real Power P in watts w is calculated as the Current I amps A, times the voltage in volts v. Plug these values into the formula:
For Example,
Single Phase Amps to Watts Calculation formula
The Real Power P In watts w is calculated as the Power factor in pf times the phase current I in amps A, times the RMS Voltage in volt v. Plug these values into the formula:
For Example, If the Voltage consumption is 220V with a phase current of 10A and a power factor of 0.8 the Real Power is watts.
3-Phase Amps to Watts Calculation formula
Calculation with Line to Line voltage
The Real Power P in Watts w is calculated as the square root of 3 times the Power factor in pf times the 3 phase current I in amps A, times the line-to-line RMS Voltage VL-L in volts v. Plug these values into the formula:
For Example,
Calculation with Line to Neutral voltage
The Real Power P in Watts w is calculated as the 3 times the Power factor in pf times the 3 phase current I in amps A, times the line-to-line RMS Voltage VL-L in volts v. Plug these values into the formula:

Frequently Asked Questions - FAQs for Name Calculator
Current (A) = Real Power (W) ÷ Voltage (V).
When spelled out, it means voltage = current (A) × resistance (ohm) , or volts = amps × ohms, or V = A × Ω.
The electrical efficiency is typically expressed as a power factor between 0 and 1. The closer the power factor rating is to 1, the more efficiently the kVA will be converted into kilowatts.
The formula for power in watts is given by the work and the time. The formula is P = W ÷ t, where W is the work done in some time t.
1 Volt is defined as energy consumption of 1 joule per electric charge of 1 coulomb.
