Full Load Current Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Full Load Current.
If = Pf/(1.732*Vf)
- Where If is the Full Load Current (amps)
- Pf is the full load power (watts)
- Vf is the full load voltage (volts)
How to Calculate Full Load Current?
The following two example problems outline how to calculate the Full Load Current.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the full load power (watts). In this example, the full load power (watts) is measured to be 67.
- Next, determine the full load voltage (volts). For this problem, the full load voltage (volts) is calculated to be 8.
- Finally, calculate the Full Load Current using the formula above:
If = Pf/(1.732*Vf)
Inserting the values from above and solving the equation with the imputed values gives:
If = 67/(1.732*8) = 4.83 (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:
full load power (watts) = 90
full load voltage (volts) = 4
Entering these values into the formula above gives :
If = 90/(1.732*4) = 12.99 (amps)
