How to Use This Calculator

1

Select calculation type

Choose how you want to calculate current: from voltage and resistance, from power and voltage, or from power and resistance.

2

Choose electrical system

Select DC for direct current or AC (single/three phase) for alternating current systems.

3

Enter electrical parameters

Input the known values like voltage, resistance, power, power factor (for AC), frequency (for AC), and temperature.

4

Review results

View the calculated current, power information, circuit characteristics, and wire gauge recommendations.

Current Calculation Tips

1

Always use consistent units throughout your calculations.

2

For AC circuits, power factor affects the relationship between real and apparent power.

3

Temperature affects resistance - higher temperatures increase resistance in most materials.

4

Wire gauge recommendations are based on current-carrying capacity and safety standards.

5

DC circuits are simpler as they don't involve power factor or frequency considerations.

6

Always consider safety when working with high current applications.
