AC Motor Formula

To Find Amperes when HP is known: Single Phase Two Phase - *(4 - wire) Three Phase

I=

746 HP E Eff PF

I=

746 HP 2 E Eff PF

I=

746 HP 173 E Eff PF .

To find Amperes when KW is known: Single Phase Two Phase - *(4 - wire) Three Phase

I=

1000 KW E PF

I=

1000 KW 2 E PF

I=

1000 KW 173 E PF .

To find Amperes when KVA is known: Single Phase Two Phase - *(4 - wire) Three Phase

I=

1000 KVA E

I=

1000 KVA 2 E

I=

1000 KVA 173 E .

To find Kilowatts Input: Single Phase Two Phase - *(4 - wire) Three Phase

KW =

E I PF 1000

KW =

2 E I PF 1000

KW =

173 E I PF . 1000

To find Kilovolt Amperes: Single Phase Two Phase - *(4 - wire) Three Phase

KVA =

E I 1000

KVA =

2 E I 1000

KVA =

173 E I . 1000

To find Horsepower Output: Single Phase Two Phase - *(4 - wire) Three Phase

HP =

E I Eff PF 746

HP =

2 E I Eff PF 746

HP =

173 E I Eff PF . 746

* For two phase three wire balanced circuits, the Amperes in common cunductor = 1.41 times that in either of the two.
