3-Phase Motor Amperage Calculator

I = P / (√3 · V · PF · η)

Typical 0.8–0.9

0–1 (e.g., 0.9)

Instructions

Enter motor output power in kW, line voltage, power factor, and efficiency. Click Calculate to get the line current per phase.

Formula

I = P / (√3 · V · PF · η)

Where P is output power (W), V is line-to-line voltage (V), PF is power factor, and η is efficiency.

Common Questions

Does this return per-phase current?

Yes, it returns the line current for a balanced three-phase system.

What if I have horsepower instead of kW?

Convert: 1 hp ≈ 0.7457 kW, then use the calculator.
