Average Current Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Average Current.
Iave = Ip * .636
- Where Iave is the Average Current (amps)
- Ip is the peak current (amps)
How to Calculate Average Current?
The following two example problems outline how to calculate the Average Current.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the peak current (amps). In this example, the peak current (amps) is measured to be 115.
- Finally, calculate the Average Current using the formula above:
Iave = Ip * .636
Inserting the values from above and solving the equation with the imputed values gives:
Iave = 115* .636 = 73.14 (amps)
Example Problem #2:
Using the same process as example problem 1, we first define the variables outlined by the formula. In this case, the values are:
peak current (amps) = 251
Entering these values into the formula above gives :
Iave = 251 * .636 = 159.63 (amps)
