Electrical load capacity is the total amount of power that your main source of electricity provides for your home. To calculate electrical load capacity, follow the formula watts = amperage x volts.
Single-phase power features electrical flow through a single conductor. Single-phase power is more cost effective and capable of consistently powering smaller tools and equipment, while a three-phase system employs three separate conductors, ideal for large-scale, commercial or industrial applications.
A power rating is the highest power input allowed to flow through a particular piece of equipment. To calculate power rating, follow the formula P (power in watts) = l (current in amperes) x V (potential difference in volts) or P = E (energy transferred in joules) / T (time in seconds).
