Question

Find the power load P in kilowatts of an electrical circuit that takes a current I of 17 amperes at a voltage V of 320 volts if p= VI/1000 .

Answer 1

Answer: P = 5.44 KW

Explanation:

The formula for calculating power is expressed as

P = VI

where

v is the voltage

I is the current

From the information given,

v = 320

I = 17

Thus,

P = 320 x 17 = 5440 W

We would convert it to KW by dividing by 1000. It becomes

P = 5440/1000

P = 5.44 KW
