Electric Motor

To Find: 

Given: 

Single Phase 

Three Phase 

Kilowatts (kW)  Volts * Amps * PF/1000 1.73 * Volts * Amps * PF/1000 
Kilovolt-Ampere (kVA)  Volts * Amps/1000     1.73 * Volts * Amps/1000 
Horsepower (hp) Volts * Amps * Eƒƒ * PF/746 1.73 * Volts * Amps * Eƒƒ * PF/746 
Amps Hp Hp * 746/Volts * Eƒƒ * PF Hp * 746/1.73 * Volts * Eƒƒ * PF 
Amps PowerkW kW * 1000/V * PF kW * 1000/1.73 * Volts * PF 
Amps kVA kVA * 1000/Volts kVA * 1000/1.73 * Volts 

Hydraulic Power

 To Find:

Given: 

Horsepower (hp) 

Kilowatts (kW) 

Power Head Feet * Flow Rate * SG/3956 9.81 * Meters * Flow Rate * SG 
Power Pressure Drop psi * Flow Rate/1714 kPa * Flow Rate/1000 
Power work* Work * Flow Rate * SG/3956 Work * Flow Rate * SG/1000

* For Horsepower (hp) Work units are (ƒt-lbƒ/lbm); for Kilowatts (kW) Work units are (J/kg)

  • Flow Rate for Horsepower (hp) is Gallons/Minute (gpm)
  • Flow Rate for Kilowatts (kW) is Liters/Second (L/s)
