DC Power Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the DC Power.
Pdc = Idc * Vdc
- Where Pdc is the DC Power (watts)
- Idc is the direct current (amps)
- Vdc is the direct voltage (volts)
How to Calculate DC Power?
The following two example problems outline how to calculate the DC Power.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the direct current (amps). In this example, the direct current (amps) is measured to be 51.
- Next, determine the direct voltage (volts). For this problem, the direct voltage (volts) is calculated to be 6.
- Finally, calculate the DC Power using the formula above:
Pdc = Idc * Vdc
Inserting the values from above and solving the equation with the imputed values gives:
Pdc = 51* 6 =306 (watts)
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:
direct current (amps) = 7
direct voltage (volts) = 40
Entering these values into the formula or calculator above gives us::
Pdc = 7 * 40 = 280 (watts)
