Mining power requirements calculator

Estimate apparent power and running current from electrical load, voltage and power factor for professional planning.

Apparent power
3.684 kVA
Estimated running current
15.35 A

Source: current user inputs and published formulas. Last updated: on input change.

Estimates only. Electrical systems must be designed and installed by qualified professionals. No cable, breaker or installation approval is provided. The utilization allowance is not a universal code rule.

Formula and assumptions

Apparent VA = watts ÷ power factor. Single-phase current = VA ÷ voltage; balanced three-phase line current = VA ÷ (√3 × line-to-line voltage).

Three-phase current assumes a balanced load and line-to-line voltage. This does not authorize connecting single-phase equipment to another supply.

Worked example

An illustrative 3,500 W single-phase load at 240 V and power factor 0.95 draws approximately 15.35 A. This specifies neither a breaker nor a cable.

Frequently asked questions

Does this size cables or breakers?

No. Electrical systems must be designed and installed by qualified professionals using applicable local requirements.

What about startup and harmonics?

They are excluded, along with voltage drop and protection coordination.
