How do you figure three phase amps. When all you know is the voltage and the wattage. Do not know the PF factor
For example, with the following values:
208 Volts 3 phase
15000 watts or 15 KVA
Assume .8 PF
VA (AC Watts)= E*I*PF*1.73
I= KVA/E*1.73*PF
Amps = 15000 watts divide by 208 volts times 1.73 times .8
Amps = 52.10 amps
If this is for resistance heat, no need for PF.
