Ampere

Ampere (A) is a unit of electric current. Electric current is the rate of electric charge flow per time unit. One ampere (A) is equal to one coulomb (Q) per second (s).

Watt

Watt (W) is a unit of power. Power is the rate of energy usage per time unit. One watt (W) is equal to one joule (J) per second (S).

DC amps to watts calculation

The power P in watts (W) is equal to the current I in amps (A), times the voltage V in volts (V):

P(W) = I(A) × V(V)

AC single phase amps to watts calculation

The power P in watts (W) is equal to the power factor PF times the phase current I in amps (A), times the RMS voltage V in volts (V):

P(W) = PF × I(A) × V(V)

AC three phase amps to watts calculation

Calculation with line to line voltage

The power P in watts (W) is equal to square root of 3 times the power factor PF times the phase current I in amps (A), times the line to line RMS voltage VL-L in volts (V):

P(W) = 3 × PF × I(A) × VL-L(V)

Calculation with line to neutral voltage

The power P in watts (W) is equal to 3 times the power factor PF times the phase current I in amps (A), times the line to neutral RMS voltage VL-N in volts (V):

P(W) = 3 × PF × I(A) × VL-N(V)

Typical power factor values

Do not use typical power factor values for accurate calculations.

Fluorescent lamp 0.95
Incandescent lamp 1
Induction motor full load 0.85
Induction motor no load 0.35
Resistive oven 1
Synchronous motor 0.9
