DC

I = P / V

Simple division

AC Single

I = P / (V × PF)

Power factor

AC Three

I = P / (√3 × V × PF)

Line current

I = P ÷ (V × PF × √3 for 3-phase)

"Current is power in motion." — Electrical Engineering

How the Watts to Amps Calculator Works

Our watts to amps calculator uses standard formulas:

  • DC: I = P / V
  • AC Single Phase: I = P / (V × PF)
  • AC Three Phase: I = P / (√3 × V × PF)
  • PF = 1.0 for resistive loads
