Power Factor Correction Calculator

With minimum input from the user this calculator will provide all the necessary information that is required to install a ‘power factor correction’ system to correct a bad power factor and save an enormous amount of wasted money in electricity bills.

So that we can focus all our efforts on our new application, we have retired our myElectrical.com cable sizing calculator. We recommend you now use our main cable sizing application over at myCableEngineering.com.

Cable Sizing Software – select, size and manage your power cables using myCableEngineering. All your cables, for all your projects.

Our software is the only cloud-based solution and has been built from the ground up to be fully responsive – meaning you can access your cables from anywhere and on any device, desktop, tablet or smartphone.

This calculator is for educational purposes.

1. Select phase number.
2. Enter real power in kilowatts (kW).
3. Enter phase current in amps (A).
4. For three phase, select voltage type.
5. Enter voltage in volts (V).
6. Enter AC frequency in Hertz (Hz) – needed only for capacitance calculation.
7. Press the calculate button to get the power factor.
