Three Phase Power KW = (Volts x Amps x PF x 1.73) / 1000 Single Phase Power KW = (Volts x Amps x PF) / 1000 Unity Power Factor Power (Watts) = Volts x Amps Power (Watts) = (V) / R Power (Watts) = IR KVA Calculations Single Phase KVA = (Volts x Amps) / 1000 Three Phase KVA = (Volts x Amps x 1.73) / 1000

Efficiency = (Power Output) / (Power Input)

Transformers: Ep x Ip = Es x Is (Voltage and Current)

Vp x TURNSs = Vs x TURNSp (Turns Ratio)

Delta Transformers: Eline = Ephase Iline = 1.73 x Iphase

Wye Transformers: Iline = Iphase Eline = 1.73 x Ephase
