Watts ↔ Amps Load Planner

Convert real power, current and apparent power using entered voltage and power factor. Not circuit sizing, protective-device selection or installation approval.

Conversion Parameters

Power consumption in watts
Current draw in amperes
Operating voltage of the electrical system
Standard voltage for your region
Real power / apparent power; enter the equipment value, greater than 0 and at most 1.
Use line-to-line voltage for balanced three phase; use PF = 1 for DC.

Calculation Results

Apparent Power:

Notes & Definitions

  • Watts: The unit of real power consumption in electrical systems.
  • Amps: The unit of electrical current flow through a circuit.
  • Voltage: The electrical potential difference that drives current flow.
  • Power Factor: Ratio of real power to apparent power, not equipment efficiency.
