The formula to calculate the Amps Per Phase is:
\[ APP = \frac{P \times 1000}{\sqrt{3} \times V \times PF} \]
Where:
Amps per phase is a measure of the current flowing through one phase of a three-phase electrical system. It is a crucial parameter for designing and operating electrical systems, ensuring that the current is within the safe operating limits of the electrical components and conductors. The power factor, which represents the phase difference between voltage and current, is also taken into account when calculating the amps per phase.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ APP = \frac{10 \times 1000}{\sqrt{3} \times 400 \times 0.8} \approx 18.04 \text{ A} \]
The Amps Per Phase (APP) is approximately 18.04 A.
