Power Calculation

When selecting the correct sized SCR power controller, rate the SCR for at least 110% of the heater load. Heaters and power lines have tolerances that can swing on any given day or location.

Double PhaseWATTS÷ VOLTS= AMPS

Example: 18,000W ÷ 440V = 40.9 A

AMPS x VOLTS= Watts

Example: 40.9Ax 480V = 18,000W

AMPS x VOLTS x 1.73 = Watts

Example: 60A x 480V x 1.73 = 49,824

WExample: 18,000W ÷ 240V = 75A
