Where:
W = wattage (watts)
Vavg = average voltage of the three separate phases (volts)
Aavg = average current of the three separate phases current (amps)
p.f. = average power factor or the three separate phases
1.732 = a constant necessary with 3 phase.
The electrical power input in kilowatts for a three phase motor is calculated by multiplying the average
voltage of all three phases measured at the motor times the average amperage of all three phases
measured at the motor times the average power factor of all three phases measured at the motor times
a constant of 1.732 and dividing the result by 1000.
An operating three phase motor has voltages measured with a voltmeter on each phase of 453, 458,
and 461 volts, amperage measured on each phase with an ammeter are 14.1, 13.9, and 13.8 amps,
power factor was measured as 0.82. The average voltage is 453 plus 458 plus 461 divided by 3 which
equals 457 volts.
The electrical
power input to
the motor
equals 457
volts times 13.9 amps times 0.82 power factor divided by 1000 which equals 5.2 kilowatts.
