Apparent Power Calculator
Calculate apparent power from voltage and current (S = V × I).
Formula
S = V × I
- S
- Apparent power, in volt-amps
- V
- Voltage, in volts
- I
- Current, in amps
What this calculator does
Calculates apparent power (total supplied power) from voltage and current.
Use cases
- Size a transformer or generator based on apparent power demand
- Compare apparent power against real power to estimate power factor
- Check a supply's volt-amp capacity against expected load
