Electrical Formulas
Understanding the relationship between power, current, and voltage

DC (Direct Current)

Power (Watts) = Voltage (Volts) × Current (Amps)

Current (Amps) = Power (Watts) ÷ Voltage (Volts)

Used in batteries, solar panels, and automotive systems

AC Single Phase

Power (Watts) = Voltage (Volts) × Current (Amps) × Power Factor

Current (Amps) = Power (Watts) ÷ (Voltage (Volts) × Power Factor)

Used in residential and light commercial applications

AC Three Phase

Power (Watts) = Voltage (Volts) × Current (Amps) × Power Factor × √3

Current (Amps) = Power (Watts) ÷ (Voltage (Volts) × Power Factor × √3)

Used in industrial and heavy commercial applications
