Voltage Formula:
From: | To: |
Definition: This calculator estimates the voltage based on power in watts and impedance in ohms.
Purpose: It helps electrical engineers and technicians determine the voltage in AC circuits when power and impedance are known.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The square root of the product of power and impedance gives the voltage in the circuit.
Details: Proper voltage calculation ensures safe circuit design, proper equipment operation, and efficient power distribution.
Tips: Enter the power in watts and impedance in ohms. All values must be > 0.
Q1: Is this formula for AC or DC circuits?
A: This formula is primarily used for AC circuits where impedance is a factor.
Q2: What's the difference between impedance and resistance?
A: Impedance includes both resistance and reactance (inductive/capacitive effects) in AC circuits.
Q3: Can I use this for three-phase systems?
A: This calculates line voltage for single-phase systems. Three-phase requires additional factors.
Q4: How does frequency affect this calculation?
A: Frequency affects impedance (Z) but not the basic voltage formula shown here.
Q5: What if I only know current, not power?
A: Use Ohm's Law (V = I × Z) if you know current and impedance instead.
