Loading the calculator…

P = √3 × V_LL × I × cos φ for a balanced load.

Assumptions and limits.
  • Balanced three-phase sinusoidal load.

Balanced three-phase power

Using line-to-line voltage, P = √3 × V_LL × I × PF.

The √3 factor comes from the relationship between phase and line quantities in a balanced system.

Frequently asked questions

What if the load is unbalanced?
This formula does not apply. Analyse each phase separately or use a proper unbalanced-load method.
