Power & Current Conversions

Quick conversions between amps, watts, volts, kW, and kVA for common single-phase planning checks.

Amps to Watts Calculator

Convert amps to watts quickly using common voltage assumptions for practical electrical planning.

Single-Phase Power Calculator

Calculate single-phase real power (watts) and apparent power (VA) from voltage, current, and power factor. Free online tool for home and light commercial circuits.

Three-Phase Power Calculator

Calculate three-phase real power (kW) and apparent power (kVA) from line voltage, phase current, and power factor. For commercial and industrial electrical systems.

Generator Wattage Calculator

Estimate generator running watts, startup demand, and a practical generator size for refrigerators, sump pumps, freezers, and other home backup loads.

Watts to Kilowatts Converter

Convert watts to kilowatts instantly: kW = W ÷ 1000. Works in both directions. See the formula, common appliance examples, and a quick reference table.

Circuit Laws & Component Tools

Ohm's Law relationships, power factor, breaker sizing, and resistor color code decoding.

Wire Size Calculator

Estimate a common residential wire size starting point based on amps, distance, voltage, conductor material, and voltage drop target.

EV Charger Amps Calculator

Convert Level 2 EV charger power into charging amps and a minimum breaker size for 208V or 240V planning.

Energy & Cost Estimators

Estimate kWh consumption and monthly electricity running cost from wattage and runtime.

Electricity Cost Calculator

Estimate electricity cost from watts, runtime, billing days, and your $/kWh rate with practical examples.

Voltage Drop

Quick checks for the effect of conductor run length on delivered voltage.

Extension Cord Size Calculator

Estimate a practical extension cord gauge from amps, cord length, and voltage-drop-aware planning for tools, pumps, and temporary household loads.

Voltage Drop Calculator

Estimate voltage drop for typical runs and understand when conductor length affects performance.
