E = Voltage
I = Amps
PF = Power Factor
EFF = Efficiency
HP = HorsepowerSingle phase formulas do not use (2 or 1.73)

Note: Direct current formulas do not use (PF, 2, or 1.73)

  • Two phase-four wire formulas do not use (1.73)
  • Three phase formulas do not use (2)
  • * For three-wire, two phase circuits the current in the common conductor is 1.41 times that in either of the other two conductors.
