Motor Full Load Current Formula
A motor's full load current is the current it draws at its rated horsepower, found from its voltage, efficiency, and power factor.
Formula
FLC = (HP × 746) ÷ (V × Eff × PF)
- FLC
- Full load current, in amps
- HP
- Motor power, in horsepower
- V
- Voltage, in volts
- Eff
- Motor efficiency, between 0 and 1
- PF
- Power factor, between 0 and 1
