Power factor is defined as the ratio of real power over total power. Total power is the vector sum of real and reactive power.
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.
power , P=1.732*V*I*power factor so, the formula for calculate the load current for a 3 phase motor is,I=P/(1.732*V*power factor)
{| |- | capacitance of the capacitor is mentioned in KVAR. Formula : KVAR = KW*tan@ FOR tan@, First note the power factor & KW without connecting capacitor. The noted power factor is in cos@.Convert the cos@ value in tan@. for ex. If power factor is 0.6, KW = 200 cos@ = 0.6 cos-1 (0.6) = 53.1 tan (53.1) = 1.333 200*1.333 = 266.6 KVAR if you use 266 KVAR capacitor, Then the power factor improves to unity (1.000). |}
Yes, sort of. At least for DC, that's correct, since P = I x V (power = current x voltage). In the case of AC, the correct formula is: P = I x V x (power factor) In many practical situations, the power factor is close to 1, and can therefore be ignored.
The power factor (cosine of phase angle) of pure inductor is zero because the phase angle between current and voltage is 90 degrees .If the value is substituted in the formula It will be zero.

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.
To measure power, you need the Voltage, and Current. In the case of AC you need the number of phases, and the power factor. Once you have these, you can find the proper formula.

The kW rating of a transformer can be calculated by multiplying the kVA rating by the power factor. For example, if the power factor is 0.8, then the kW rating of a 100 kVA transformer would be 80 kW. You can also use the formula: kW = kVA x power factor.

First, you can take out the common factor "x".For what remains (the factor other than "x"), you can use the formula for the difference of two cubes.
To calculate three-phase power with a power factor, you would use the formula: P = √3 x V x I x PF, where P is power in watts, V is voltage, I is current, and PF is the power factor. Multiply √3 (1.732) by the voltage, current, and power factor to determine the power in watts.

There is a formula for the "difference of squares." In this case, the answer is (x7 - 7)(x7 + 7)
The formula you are looking for is Watts = Amps x Volts. However, since the electricity is (probably) AC (wall power), you need to add an additional factor called "power-factor" because "AC" power doesn't work exactly like DC (battery) power. So the formula becomes Watts = Amps x Volts x "power-factor" - where the power factor is a decimal fraction somewhere between zero and one. Note that power factor is never larger than 1.0. Since the true power (multiplied by the power-factor) is always less than the "apparent power" (volts time amps without power-factor) you can use apparent power (also called "VA" - "Volt-Amperes" as a rough approximation. Unfortunately - in the case of a motor, the power-factor is not constant. It varies rather widely based on both speed and load, so if you need to know the EXACT power, you need a direct-reading AC watt-meter. If you want a closer approximation to "true power" - and you don't know the exact power factor - you can approximate it by multiplying "apparent power" by 0.71.
