Quick Answer

Three-Phase Power Calculator: P=√3UIcosφ + star/delta. Three-Phase Power Calculator uses standard science & engineering formulas to compute accurate results instantly.

Solve for power P
5,594.52 W
In kW5.59 kW
Apparent S6582 VA

Calculation steps

  1. 1P = √3·U·I·cosφ = 1.732 × 380 × 10 × 0.85 = 5595 W
  2. 2Apparent power S = √3·U·I = 6582 VA; reactive Q = √(S²−P²) = 3467 var

Star (Y) vs Delta (△) connection

QuantityStar (Y)Delta (△)
线电压 U 与相电压 UφU = √3 × Uφ(380/220)U = Uφ
线电流 I 与相电流 IφI = IφI = √3 × Iφ
总功率公式P = √3·U·I·cosφ(统一用线值)P = √3·U·I·cosφ
典型用途380/220V 低压配电电机大功率运行/降压启动切换

Motor power → rated current (380V, cosφ 0.8)

1.5 kW 电机≈ 3.4 A(cosφ 0.8)
4 kW 电机≈ 9.1 A
7.5 kW 电机≈ 15.2 A
15 kW 电机≈ 30 A
30 kW 电机≈ 60 A
75 kW 电机≈ 150 A
The √3·U·I·cosφ formula uses LINE voltage and LINE current for both star and delta — no need to convert. China low-voltage systems: line voltage 380 V, phase voltage 220 V. Motor starting current is 5-7× rated, so size breakers accordingly; running motors significantly under load drops cosφ sharply (below 0.5), wasting reactive capacity.
