& FORMULAS
The following calculations are used to
determine the actual kilowatt load being
applied by the Load Bank, when line
voltages and currents are known (at
1.0 power factor).
3 Phase
1. Read all three line currents and find
the average reading.
2. Read all three line-to-line voltages
and find the average reading.
3. Multiply the average current times
the average voltage.
4. Multiply the answer of step #3 times
the square root of 3 (1.732).
5. Divide the answer
of
step #4 by 1000.
The answer is the actual kilowatts of
load being applied by the Load Bank.
Single Phase
1. Determine the line current.
2. Determine the line-to-line voltage.
3. Multiply the line current times the
line-to-line voltage.
4. Divide the answer
of
step #3 by 1000.
5. The answer of step #4 is the actual
kilowatts being applied by the load
bank.
EXAMPLES
Using line voltages and currents:
