Electrical Power

Estimate real AC electrical power from RMS voltage, current and power factor.

How this calculator works

Enter the values for first value, second value and review the units before calculating.

Formula / method

P = V × I × power factor

Worked example

230 V, 4 A and 0.9 power factor produce 828 W.

Assumptions and limitations

The power factor is between 0 and 1 and voltage/current are RMS values.

Single-phase behavior is assumed; three-phase systems need line and phase configuration.
