Title: Formula of Three-phase Current Calculator with Excel Application: Take 7.5KW power as an example
In modern industry and daily life, three-phase electricity is widely used. It involves an important concept – current calculation. In particular, when we need to understand the current magnitude in the three-phase circuit, so as to facilitate the circuit design and the selection of electrical equipment, the current calculation is particularly important. This article will introduce how to use Excel to calculate the three-phase current, and take the power of 7.5KW as an example to elaborate the relevant calculation formulas and applications.
1. The basic concept of three-phase current
Three-phase current is a common form of current in the power system that involves three phases, each with a 120-degree phase difference in voltage between them. In a three-phase system, there is a specific relationship between the power and current of the motor, and the current is usually calculated from the power and voltage.
Formula for calculating two-phase and three-phase current
The formula for calculating the three-phase current (I) is:
I=P/(√3×U×PF)
Thereinto:
P stands for power (unit: KW)
U represents the line voltage (unit: V)
PF stands for Power Factor (a value between 0 and 1 that indicates the efficiency of the motor)
√3 is a constant for a three-phase system, which is approximately equal to 1.732.
3. Current calculation with 7.5KW power as an example
Suppose we have a three-phase motor with a power of 7.5KW, running in a line voltage environment of 220V, and the power factor is set to the conventional 0.85. We can calculate the current magnitude of the motor by the above formula. However, it is more intuitive and convenient to perform calculations in Excel.
4. Use Excel to calculate the three-phase current
In Excel, we can set a simple formula to calculate the current. Assuming we already know the power (column P), line voltage (column U), and power factor (column PF), we can enter the following formula into the cell of current (column I):
=Corresponding value in column P/(value corresponding to column √3× U ×corresponding value in column PF)". In this way, the current value can be quickly obtained by filling in the corresponding value.
The steps are as follows:
1. Open Excel and create a new worksheet.
2. Fill in the corresponding columns with known power, line voltage, and power factor.
3. Enter the formula into the cell of the current column, and get the calculation result.
4. According to the need, the current changes under different powers, voltages and power factors can be further analyzed.
V. Conclusions
Through the three-phase current calculation formula of Excel, we can easily calculate the current, which has important guiding significance for circuit design and equipment selection. Mastering this skill not only improves work efficiency, but also provides strong data support for the stable operation of the power system. In practice, we also need to adjust the parameters according to the specific situation to ensure the accuracy of the calculations. I hope the introduction of this article can be helpful to you.
