Instructions on How to Use the Watts (W) to Amperes (A) Conversion Calculator
- Enter Power (Watts):
- In the input field labeled “Power (Watts),” enter the power in watts.
- Enter Voltage (Volts):
- In the input field labeled “Voltage (Volts),” enter the voltage in volts.
- Select Type of Current:
- Use the drop-down menu labeled “Type of Current” to select the type of current (DC, AC Single Phase, AC Three Phase – Line to Line Voltage, or AC Three Phase – Line to Neutral Voltage).
- Enter Power Factor (if applicable):
- If the type of current selected is AC (Single Phase or Three Phase), a new input field labeled “Power Factor” will appear. Enter the power factor (a value between 0 and 1).
- Calculate:
- Click the “Calculate” button to determine the current in amperes based on the entered power, voltage, and power factor. The result will be displayed in the highlighted box below, along with the calculation used for the result.
- Reset:
- To clear all the input fields and the result, click the “Reset” button.

Formulas used for Watts to Amps conversion calculator.
The formula used for the watts-to-amps conversion depends on the electrical system’s voltage and power factor. Here are the formulas for different scenarios:
For DC Circuits:
- In a DC circuit, the formula to calculate current (I) from power (P) and voltage (V) is:
I = P
V
For AC Single Phase (with Power Factor):
I = P
V x PF
AC Three Phase (Line to Line Voltage):
I = P
√3 x V x PF
AC Three Phase (Line to Neutral Voltage):
I = P
3 x V x PF
For AC Circuits (without Power Factor):
- If the power factor is not provided, the formula assumes a power factor of 1 (unity power factor). In this case, the formula to calculate current (I) from power (P) and voltage (V) is the same as for DC circuits:
I = P
V
