Conversion using the Volts to Watts Formula
DC Volts to Watts Calculation formula
The Real Power p in Watts w is calculated as the voltage v in volts v, times the current I in amps A. Plug these values into the formula:
For Example, let's convert 48 volts to watts for a DC Line circuit with 10 amps of current.
Single Phase Volts 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 volts v. Plug these values into the formula:
For Example, let's convert 220 volts to watts for an AC electrical circuit with 30 amps of current and a power factor of 0.9.
3-Phase Volts 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 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, let’s convert 440 Volts to watts for an AC Electrical circuit with 35 amps of current and a power factor of 0.8
Calculation with Line to Neutal voltage
The Real Power P in watts w is calculated as the 3 times the power factor in pf times the phase current I in amps A, times ths line-to-neutral RMS Voltage L-N in volts v. Plug these values into the formula:
For Example, let’s convert 440 Volts to watts for an AC Electrical circuit with 25 amps of current and a power factor of 0.9.

Frequently Asked Questions - FAQs for Volts to Watts Calculator
220V refers to voltage. A watt is a unit that expresses Real power, according to Real power = voltage × current, so if the current is 20A, the power corresponding to the voltage of 220V is 4400W.
When spelled out, it means voltage = current (A) × resistance (ohm), or volts = amps × ohms, or V = A × Ω.
differences between watts and volts are given here in detail. Both volts and watts are related to each other. 1 watt is defined as the energy required by 1 ampere of current to flow through the potential difference of 1 volt.
Amps multiplied by Volts equals Watts, which is the measurement used to determine the amount of energy. The higher the wattage is, the more Real power and output from the appliance.
How do you calculate watts? - Watt's equation. Our calculator is based on the 2 laws that describe simple electrical circuits. 1 of them - Watt's law - states that: Power = Voltage × Current - in symbols: P = V × I.
