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
