Formulas and Rule of Thumb For Electrical Calculations

This document provides formulas and rules of thumb for basic electrical calculations related to transformers, current, power, and capacitors. It gives the formulas to calculate current from kVA for 3-phase 400V and 415V systems as either 1.443x kVA or 1.39x kVA. It also provides the formulas to calculate current from kW as either 1.8x kW or 1.74x kW for 3-phase 400V and 415V respectively. Additionally, it shows the formula to calculate power in a 3-phase circuit as the square root of 3 times voltage times current times power factor. Finally, it provides the formula to calculate capacitor current as kVAr over the square root of 3 times voltage.

Formulas and rule of thumb for Electrical calculations

kVA to Current

Current= 1.443 x kVA ( 3 phase 400 Volts)


Current= 1.39 x kVA ( 3 phase 415 Volts)

Eg:- 1000 kVA Transformer’s Full load current on LT side


1.443 x 1000= 1443 Amperes ( 3 phase 400 Volts)
1.39 x 1000 = 1390 Amperes ( 3 phase 415 Volts)

kW to Current
Current= 1.8 x kW (3 phase 400 Volts)
Current= 1.74 x kW (3 phase 415 Volts)

Power in 3 Phase circuit

kW= \/ 3 x V x I x cos φ
V= Line voltage ( 400 or 415 Volts)
I = Per phase current (Ampere)

Capacitor current

I c= kVAr /\/ 3 x V
