True Power Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the True Power.
Pt = E^2/ R
- Where Pt is the True Power (watts)
- E is the true voltage (amps)
- R is the true resistance (ohms)
How to Calculate True Power?
The following two example problems outline how to calculate the True Power.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the true voltage (amps). In this example, the true voltage (amps) is measured to be 43.
- Next, determine the true resistance (ohms). For this problem, the true resistance (ohms) is calculated to be 85.
- Finally, calculate the True Power using the formula above:
Pt = E^2/ R
Inserting the values from above and solving the equation with the imputed values gives:
Pt = 43^2/ 85 = 21.75 (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:
true voltage (amps) = 58
true resistance (ohms) = 60
Entering these values into the formula or calculator above gives us:: Pt = 58^2/ 60 = 56.06 (watts)
