Result & worksheet

6.36 kW estimated output

Recorded summary

  • Voltage: 480 V
  • Current: 10 A
  • Input: 7.07 kW
  • Output: 6.36 kW

Formula used

Output kW ≈ √3 × V × I × PF × efficiency ÷ 1,000

Calculation steps

  1. √3 × 480 × 10 × 0.85 ÷ 1,000 = 7.07 kW input
  2. 7.07 × 0.9 = 6.36 kW output

Assumptions

  • Balanced three-phase motor
  • Measured current is stable
  • Nameplate and applicable code motor tables govern circuit design

Verify before use

  • Motor nameplate voltage, current, service factor, duty, and efficiency
  • Applicable motor table value for conductor and protection calculations
  • Overload, short-circuit, ground-fault, and controller requirements
  • Phase balance and mechanical load
