You can use either. I assume the 240 volts is the line to neutral voltage, and the 415 is the line to line voltages. They will both give you the correct answer. It is important to note these values are RMS, not 0 - peak voltages, but this may be beyond your question. The equations below are for calculated from RMS values (both voltage and current).

If you are using a L-L voltage, P = I*V*sqrt(3)

If you are using the L-N voltage, 1-phase power P = I*V (for the power in a single phase, for all three, multiply by 3), or 3phase power P = 3*I*V


You will get the same answer, since the L-N voltage is (1/sqr(3)) times the L-L voltage.

Equation for calculating velocity when acceleration and time are known?

The equation for calculating velocity when acceleration and time are known is v = u + at, where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, and t is the time.


How do you calculate kilovoltamps when kilowatts is known?

To calculate kilovolt-amps (kVA) when kilowatts (kW) is known, you can use the formula: kVA = kW / power factor. The power factor is the ratio of real power (kW) to apparent power (kVA) in an electrical circuit.


Equation for calculating if mass is known?

The equation to calculate force when mass is known is F = ma, where F is the force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration. If the acceleration is due to gravity, the equation becomes F = mg, where g is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.81 m/s^2 on Earth).

What is the equation for calculating the acceleration of an object when its mass and the net force acting on it are known?

The equation is acceleration = net force / mass. This formula describes Newton's second law of motion, which states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass.


What is the definition of residual power?

If a dynamo puts out 100,000 kilowatts and the area it services only requires 80,000 kilowatts; then the remaining 20,000 kilowatts is known as its residual power. This extra capacity is useful in withstanding power spikes when consumer demand increases during peak periods.
