Motor Power & Current Calculator
Calculate motor Full Load Amperes (FLA), inrush starting current, and recommended circuit breaker, overload relay, and copper cable cross-section for 3-phase or 1-phase AC motors.
Induction motors typically 0.80–0.89
IE2/IE3 high-efficiency motors ~85%–94%
Direct-on-Line (DOL) is approx. 5–7x

Formulas
3-Phase: In = P(W) / ( √3 × UL × cosφ × η )
Single Phase: In = P(W) / ( U × cosφ × η )
1 HP ≈ 0.7457 kW
