kW ↔ HP Converter
Quick motor power conversion
Energicity Engineering Toolkit
20 lightweight browser-based tools for current, power factor, APFC kVAR, transformer, DG, cable, voltage drop, motor, fault current, maximum demand and rooftop solar calculations.
Preliminary calculations only. Final engineering selection must consider applicable standards, equipment data and actual site conditions.
Quick motor power conversion
Current from kW, voltage, PF and optional efficiency
Use efficiency 1.00 when kW is electrical input power. For motor shaft-output kW, enter the motor efficiency.
Current from kW, voltage, PF and optional efficiency
Use efficiency 1.00 when kW is electrical input power. For motor shaft-output kW, enter the motor efficiency.
Power triangle calculator
Power factor correction requirement
3-phase capacitor current from kVAR
Preliminary kVA sizing with margin
Primary/secondary current check
Running-load kVA estimate
Current-density + voltage-drop screening
Screening only; final ampacity depends on installation, ambient temperature, grouping, insulation, harmonics and short-circuit withstand.
AC voltage drop using R and X
Approximate terminal short-circuit current
Approximation excludes upstream/cable impedance, motor contribution and X/R effects.
Next standard current rating from design current
Final breaker selection requires cable ampacity, fault rating, trip curve/settings and discrimination.
FLC and preliminary AC-3 selection aid
Use motor nameplate current and manufacturer AC-3/overload data for final selection.
S = I√t / k
Verify the correct k-value for conductor material, insulation and temperature limits.
DOL, star-delta, soft starter or VFD estimate
Actual starting current varies by motor design, load torque and starter settings.
Voltage or current unbalance percentage
Demand-factor based estimate
Calculate kW, kVA and kVAR
Energy-offset sizing and payback estimate
Simple estimate only; actual output/economics depend on roof, shading, losses, tariff/net-metering rules and financing.
When a quick calculation is not enough
Calculator results are only a starting point. For power-factor problems, harmonics, abnormal loading, overheating, protection concerns or high electrical cost, measured site data should take priority.
