Electrical calculators: choose the right tool
Calculate current, convert motor power and compare wire sizes. Start with the quantity you already know, then select the circuit type and voltage in the calculator.
Power and current
kW to amps — Convert real power to current for DC, single-phase or three-phase circuits.
kVA to amps — Use apparent power and voltage to calculate current.
VA to amps — Find current on the selected transformer winding.
Three-phase current — Calculate balanced three-phase current with power factor and, where needed, efficiency.
Wire sizes, voltage and motors
mm² to AWG — Compare wire cross-sectional area and American Wire Gauge sizes.
Line-to-line and line-to-neutral voltage — Convert voltages in a balanced wye system.
kW to horsepower — Convert motor power units and compare common ratings.
CV to HP — Convert metric horsepower to mechanical horsepower.
Before calculating
kW or kVA? kW measures real power; kVA measures apparent power. Their relationship depends on power factor.
Which voltage? For a balanced three-phase current calculation, use line-to-line voltage. For a transformer, match the voltage to the winding whose current you want.
Motor power? Distinguish electrical input from mechanical output. Efficiency is needed when converting shaft output to electrical input.
Wire conversion? An AWG/mm² comparison gives area, not a cable’s permitted current. Cable selection also depends on installation conditions and applicable rules.
