Generator Amps Fundamentals
AC Amps
For AC generators, current calculations depend on:
- Phase configuration (Single/Three)
- Power factor (cosφ)
- Output Voltage
Key Formulas:
Single Phase: Amps = (kW × 1000) / (V × PF)
Three Phase: Amps = (kW × 1000) / (√3 × V × PF)
Calculation Formulas
AC Single Phase:
Amps = (kW × 1000) / (V × PF)
AC Three Phase:
Amps = (kW × 1000) / (√3 × V × PF)
Example Calculation
Three Phase AC Generator:
Power: 50 kW
Voltage: 480 V
PF: 0.8
Amps = (50 × 1000) / (√3 × 480 × 0.8)
Amps = 50000 / (1.732 × 480 × 0.8)
Amps = 50000 / 665.28 ≈ 75.15 A
Result: 75.15 Amps
