Conversion using the Motor Current Calculation Formula
These formulas will help you calculate the motor current needed for both single-phase and three-phase motors based on the input parameters like power, voltage, and efficiency.
Single-Phase Motor Current Formula:
For a single-phase motor, the formula to calculate the current is:
3-Phase Motor Current Formula:
For a three-phase motor, the formula to calculate the current is:
- I = Current (Amps)
- P = Real Power (Watts)
- V = Voltage (volts)
- Efficiency = Motor power factor (typically between 0.8 and 1.0)

How to use Motor Current Calculator?
- Power (P) - Input the motor's power rating in Watts (W), Kilowatts (kW), or Horsepower (HP).
- Voltage (V) - Enter the operating voltage of the motor in Volts (V).
- Efficiency (%) - Specify the motor efficiency (e.g., 90% should be entered as 0.90).
- Power Factor (PF) - Enter the power factor (typically between 0.8 and 1.0).
