Electrical Power Calculator

Electrical Power Calculator lets you single-phase real power equals RMS voltage × RMS current × power factor. Enter your own values or load the worked example.

Method and calculation

Single-phase real power equals RMS voltage × RMS current × power factor.

Inputs and settings

Electrical Power Calculator accepts Voltage (V) (minimum 0); Current (A) (minimum 0); Power factor (minimum 0, maximum 1).

Worked example

Electrical Power Calculator example — Voltage (V): 230; Current (A): 5; Power factor: 1. Computed output: { "watts": 1150, "voltAmperes": 1150 }

Output and limitations

Electrical Power Calculator: Use finite inputs. Results use double-precision arithmetic.

Electrical Power Calculator FAQs

Electrical Power Calculator applies the following rule to your input: Single-phase real power equals RMS voltage × RMS current × power factor. The worked example on this page uses the same processor as the result button.
Electrical Power Calculator has these boundaries: Use finite inputs. Results use double-precision arithmetic. Start by checking the voltage (v) field against the units or format shown.
Electrical Power Calculator provides this sample: { "watts": 1150, "voltAmperes": 1150 }. Use the sample button to reproduce it, then replace the inputs with your own values.
