Power factor is the cosine of the phase angle -i.e. the angle by which the load current lags or leads the supply voltage. Heaters are resistive loads (although not 'purely' resistive), which means that the load current is practically in phase with the supply voltage, making the resulting power very close to unity (1).

What is the formula to calculate ac current in single phase 240volts?
The formula is: current (in amps) = power (in watts) , divided by (240 times the power factor). The power factor is 1 for incandescent light or heaters, otherwise it can be assumed to be 0.75 for other loads.
What is single phase power factor meter?
Power Factor applies to all A.C.(alternating current) power supplies. It ma not be apparent when a purely resistive load is applied as this offers a PF of 1.0 but any other load type will have a power factor somewhere between 0.0 and 1.0.
What is the nature of power factor and its variation with firing angle when a single phase voltage controller feeds a resistive load?
With a pure resistive load the Power Factor should be 1.
How you convert the value of single phase power to value of 3 phase power?
Electric power is measured in watts. It does not matter if it is single phase or three phase. All things being equal, for the same load, the power measured in a single phase circuit or a three phase circuit, will be the same.
Do televisions use single-phase or 3-phase power?
Answer 1: TV's use single-phase power. Answer 2: TV's use single phase power of 220 or 110 volts ac power depending on what part of the world you live in.

Convert 2KW to KVA in single phase?
To convert 2 kW to kVA in single phase, you need to know the power factor. If we assume a power factor of 0.8 (common for many single-phase loads), the conversion formula is kVA = kW / power factor. Therefore, for 2 kW at a power factor of 0.8, the result would be 2 kVA / 0.8 = 2.5 kVA.
How to compute watts to amps single phase?
To convert watts to amps in a single-phase electrical system, divide the power (in watts) by the voltage (in volts) and then divide the result by the power factor. The formula is: Amps = Watts / (Volts * Power Factor). This will give you the current in amperes drawn by the load.
What is single phase power factor meter?

What is the formula of active power?
For a single-phase system, active (or 'true') power is the product of the supply voltage, the load current, and the power factor of the load.
What is the nature of power factor and its variation with firing angle when a single phase voltage controller feeds a resistive load?
With a pure resistive load the Power Factor should be 1.
How do you calculate amp draw if you have 1 phase volts and kw?
For a single phase supply: you need to know the volts, kW and the power factor. If the power factor is unknown, assume 0.75, except for heating elements which have a power factor of 1. Multiply the kW number by 1000 then divide by the voltage. The answer should be divided by the power factor to find the current in amps.
Can electricity deliver power when the phase is negative against the neutral?
Provided the load has a power factor of 1 power is transferred when the live is both positive and negative. The power pulsates at double the supply frequency in a single-phase system
How you convert the value of single phase power to value of 3 phase power?
Electric power is measured in watts. It does not matter if it is single phase or three phase. All things being equal, for the same load, the power measured in a single phase circuit or a three phase circuit, will be the same.

A 100 amp 3 phase power supply is good for how many total amps?
100 amps to a 3 phase load. Power = 100A x Voltage x 1.73 ((line to line voltage)(1.73=SQRT(3)). 173 amps to each of 3 single phase (line to line) loads. Power = 173A x Voltage (line to line voltage). or... 100 amps to each of 3 single phase (line to neutral) load. Power = 300A x Voltage (line to neutral voltage). Example: - 3 phase, 480v, 100amp to a 3 phase heater. 100A x 480V x 1.73 = 83040 watts. - 3 single phase 480v (L-L voltage) heaters, 100amp. 173A x 480V = 83040 watts. - 3 single phase 277v (L-N voltage) heaters, 100amp. 300A x 277V = 83100 watts.
Can you convert a single phase power supply into a three phase stabiliser to power a home?
Houses generally run on single phase power. It would not make sense to convert single phase to three phase to run a house. Please restate the question.
