. E

To find Kilowatts Input:

Single Phase

KW =

E I PF
1000

Two Phase - *(4 - wire)

KW =

2 E I PF
1000

Three Phase

KW =

173
. E I PF
1000

To find Kilovolt Amperes:

Single Phase

KVA =

E I
1000

Two Phase - *(4 - wire)

KVA =

2 E I
1000

Three Phase

KVA =

173
. E I
1000

To find Horsepower Output:

Single Phase

HP =

E I Eff PF
746

Two Phase - *(4 - wire)

HP =

2 E I Eff PF
746

Three Phase

HP =

173
. E I Eff PF
746

* For two phase three wire balanced circuits, the Amperes in common cunductor = 1.41 times that in either of the two.
