3-phase motor power calculator
Here is a simple calculator that you can use to calculate the power of a 3-phase AC motor:
Step 1: Enter the following values:
Line voltage (V_L)
Line current (I_L)
Power factor (PF)
Step 2: Calculate the apparent power (S) in VA using the following formula:
S = V_L x I_L x PF
Step 3: Calculate the real power (P) in watts using the following formula:
P = S x PF
Step 4: Calculate the reactive power (Q) in var using the following formula:
Q = S x sqrt(1 - PF^2)
Example:
Suppose you have a 3-phase AC motor with the following parameters:
Line voltage: 460 V
Line current: 20 A
Power factor: 0.85
Using the calculator above, you can calculate the apparent power, real power, and reactive power as follows:
S = 460 V x 20 A x 0.85 PF = 7680 VA
P = 7680 VA x 0.85 PF = 6544 W
Q = 7680 VA x sqrt(1 - 0.85^2) = 1090 var
Note: The
power factor of an AC motor is a measure of how efficiently the motor
converts electrical power into mechanical power. A power factor of 1.0
indicates that the motor is operating at maximum efficiency, while a
power factor of less than 1.0 indicates that the motor is not operating
at full efficiency.

3 phase AcMotor current calculator
Here is a simple calculator that you can use to calculate the current of a 3-phase AC motor:
Step 1: Enter the following values:
Line voltage (V_L)
Power factor (PF)
Voltage drop correction factor (K_E)
Phase voltage (V_PH)
Field current correction factor (K_F)
Load current correction factor (K_C)
Step 2: Calculate the no-load current (I_NL) using the following formula:
I_NL = (V_L x PF x K_E) / (3 x V_PH x K_F x K_C)
Step 3: Calculate the full-load current (I_FL) using the following formula:
I_FL = I_NL / (K_F x K_C)
Note: The
values for K_E, K_F, and K_C can typically be found in the motor's
technical data sheet or can be obtained from the manufacturer.
Example:
Suppose you have a 3-phase AC motor with the following parameters:
Line voltage: 460 V
Power factor: 0.85
Voltage drop correction factor: 1.0
Phase voltage: 230 V
Field current correction factor: 1.0
Load current correction factor: 1.0
Using the calculator above, you can calculate the no-load current and the full-load current as follows:
I_NL = (460 V x 0.85 PF x 1.0 K_E) / (3 x 230 V x 1.0 K_F x 1.0 K_C) = 2.6 A
I_FL = 2.6 A / (1.0 K_F x 1.0 K_C) = 2.6 A
