Electrical Formulas for Current Calculations

This document provides electrical formulas for calculating various values in direct current (DC), single-phase alternating current (AC), and three-phase AC circuits. The formulas can be used to find amperes given horsepower or kilowatts, kilowatts given amperes or kilovolt-amperes, and horsepower given amperes and voltage. Voltage, current, power factor, and efficiency values are represented by E, I, PF, and EFF respectively in each formula.
