Calculated result

Planning estimate only. Check units and verify critical results independently.

Practical guidance

Use consistent units and check the context.

Estimate single-phase or three-phase AC motor current from power, voltage, efficiency and power factor. The calculator is designed for quick workshop, maintenance and engineering planning. For specifications, certification or safety-critical work, verify the answer independently.

Common mistakes

  • Using output kW as electrical input without efficiency
  • Ignoring power factor
  • Sizing protection or cable solely from a simplified estimate
