F.A.Q.

What is Ohm’s Law and why is it important?

Ohm’s Law defines the relationship between voltage (V), current (I), and resistance (R): V = I × R. It is essential for understanding and calculating basic electrical properties.

How do I convert watts to amps?

To convert watts to amps, divide the power (W) by the voltage (V): Amps = Watts / Volts.

What does kWh mean and how is it calculated?

kWh stands for kilowatt-hour, a unit of energy. It is calculated by multiplying power (in kW) by time (in hours): kWh = kW × hours.

What’s the difference between kW and kVA?

kW (kilowatts) is real power, while kVA (kilovolt-amperes) is apparent power. The difference is due to power factor: kW = kVA × Power Factor.

How does voltage drop calculation work?

Voltage drop depends on wire length, cross-sectional area, material, and current flow. Voltage drop calculators simplify this complex formula.

What is power factor?

Power factor is the ratio between real power and apparent power. It indicates how efficiently electrical power is being used.

How do I choose the right wire size?

Wire size is selected based on current, length of run, voltage, and installation type. Wire gauge calculators are useful for this.

How can I calculate my energy consumption?

Multiply the device’s power in watts by hours of usage. Divide the result by 1000 to get consumption in kWh.

What are VA (volt-ampere)?

VA is apparent power and equals voltage multiplied by current. It does not account for power factor or efficiency.

What is the difference between AC and DC current?

AC (alternating current) changes direction periodically, while DC (direct current) flows in one constant direction.
