๐Ÿ“ Formula & Method

Rotational Power

Pout = 2 ร— pi ร— RPM ร— Torque / 60

Torque is in Nยทm and speed is RPM. Output is watts.

Input Power and Current

Pin = Pout / eta; I = Pin / (sqrt(3) ร— V ร— PF)

The current estimate assumes a 415 V three-phase supply and power factor 0.85.

๐Ÿ“‹ How to Use

  1. 1

    Enter torque in Nยทm.

  2. 2

    Enter speed in RPM.

  3. 3

    Enter motor efficiency.

  4. 4

    Review output kW, HP, estimated input power, and estimated 415 V three-phase current.

๐Ÿงฎ Worked Examples

Validation case

100 Nยทm at 1450 RPM, 90% efficiency.

Torque100 Nยทm
Speed1450 RPM
Result: Output power = 15.184 kW; HP = 20.36; input power = 16.87 kW.

Motor Power Calculator โ€” Engineering Reference

Rotational mechanical power is torque multiplied by angular velocity.

The current result is approximate because real current depends on voltage, power factor, motor design, load, starting method, and service factor.

๐Ÿ”ฌ Methodology & Accuracy

Formula: Converts RPM to angular speed, multiplies by torque for mechanical output power, divides by motor efficiency for input power, and estimates current at 415 V 3-phase with PF 0.85.

Data sources: Standard rotational power equation and three-phase power relationship P = sqrt(3) V I PF.
