How this calculator works

For a 3-phase load, current is approximately I = P ÷ (√3 × V × PF × efficiency).

Example: 15 kW, 415 V, PF 0.85 and 90% efficiency gives about 27 A.

Practical guidance

This tool is designed for fast planning and learning. Enter realistic values and compare the result with nameplate data, local standards and engineering practice before making a final selection.

Frequently asked questions

Is this nameplate current?

No. It is an estimate. The actual motor nameplate current should be used for final protection and cable selection.

Can I use this for single phase?

Yes. Select 1 Phase and the calculator uses the single-phase power relationship.
