How Many Amps in 1338 Watts?
The answer to the question depends on:
- Whether you have a direct (DC) or alternating (AC) flow of electric charge
- In case of an AC single-phase system, the power factor (PF)
- In case of an AC three-phase system the PF as well as a constant for line to line voltage L-L(V) or line to neutral voltage L-0(V)
In an alternating current circuit, the power factor (PF) is the quotient of real power / apparent power with a value in between 0 and 1: 0 ≤ PF ≤ 1.
In the International System of Units (SI):
- The ampere (A) aka “amp” is the unit of electric current
- The volt (V) is the unit of electric potential
- The watt (W) is the unit of power
- The ohm (Ω) is the unit of electrical resistance
Next, we explain the math:
How to Convert 1338 Watts to Amps?
- DC: I(A) = 1338 W / V(V)
- AC, Single Phase: I(A) = 1338 W / (PF × V(V))
- AC, Three Phase, Line to Line Voltage: I(A) = 1338 W / (√3 × PF × VL-L(V))
- AC, Three Phase, Line to Neutral Voltage: I(A) = 1338 W / (3 × PF × VL-0(V))
