I have a Unit working at 6.5 Amps, 3 phase. I want to calculate the Power Consumption of the Unit. If I can get the formula by which the same is calculated.

The Formula is the most important.

I would be grateful, for a very quick reply.


Regards

Ujjval.

What type of device is being used?

When you say power, there are two types, true, and apparent.

Which is that you are looking for?

The power in a three-phase system is measured in volt-amps. The formula used to calculate the power involved is:
.
Volt-amps = Sq. root of 3 x voltage (volts) x current (amperes)
.
Assuming you use 3 phase 110 Volts :
.
VA = root of 110 x 110 x 110 x 6.5 = root of 8651500 = 2941 VA

That is the wackiest explanation of a this formula I have ever seen.

VA= SqRt of 3 * volts * amps

VA = 1.73 * 110 * 6.5

VA = 1236.95

For this example.

Althou, 110 volt 3 phase is very rare.

what type of load resistive or capacitive or inductive to know the power factory
which know as pf ( cosine the angle between phase current and phase voltage = cos fi)
the load is divided into two parts
1- active so, power = 3*current*phase voltage*cos fi P
2- inactive so, power = 3*current*phase voltage*sin fi S
overall power Q = Sq. root of( P^2+S^2)
