Power and Conversions

Convert between watts, amps, kW, kVA and horsepower, work Ohm’s law, and compare single-phase and three-phase supplies, with the formula shown for every result.

Tools in this group

Amps to kW Calculator
Enter amps, voltage and power factor to get kilowatts and kVA for a single phase, three phase or DC load.
Amps to Watts Calculator
Enter amps, voltage and power factor to get watts, kilowatts and VA, then the kWh and cost for the hours you run it.
HP to kW Converter
Convert horsepower to kilowatts for the three horsepower definitions, then find the electrical input kW and kVA of a motor.
kVA to Amps Calculator
Convert kVA to amps for single or three phase, or enter a transformer to get primary and secondary full-load amps.
kVA to kW Calculator
Multiply kVA by the power factor to get kW, or go back from kW to kVA, and see the kvar on a power triangle.
kW to Amps Calculator
Enter kilowatts, voltage and power factor to get the current, or use motor shaft kW with its efficiency.
kW to HP Converter
Convert kilowatts to horsepower with the definition you need, or turn motor output kW into input kW with efficiency.
Ohms Law Calculator
Enter any two of voltage, current, resistance and power to get the other two, with series and parallel resistors.
Ohms Law Wheel
Tap two known quantities on the wheel to see the matching formulas and the other two values calculated.
Power Factor Calculator
Find the power factor from kW and kVA, from volts, amps and kW, or from the phase angle, with a power triangle.
Power Factor Correction Calculator
Enter the load and target power factor to get the capacitor kvar, the current reduction and the kVA saved.
Single Phase vs Three Phase Calculator
Enter one load and see the amps, wire size, voltage drop and copper needed on a single-phase and a three-phase supply.
Three Phase Power Calculator
Calculate kW, kVA, kvar and line current of a three-phase load, or check the current unbalance of a motor.
Volts to Watts Calculator
Convert volts to watts from the current or from the resistance, and see all four Ohm's law values at once.
Watts to Amps Calculator
Enter watts, voltage and power factor to get the amps, then see the breaker size and the same load at other voltages.
