Air Conditioner Current Calculator

How to Use the Calculator

1. Enter the power rating of your air conditioner in watts (W) in the "Power" field.
2. Enter the operating voltage of your air conditioner in volts (V) in the "Voltage" field.
3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the current consumption.
4. The current consumption in amperes (A) will be displayed in the "Current" field.
5. If you need to start over, click the "Reset" button to clear all input fields.

Working Principle

The current consumption of an air conditioner can be calculated using the formula:

Current (Amps) = Power (Watts) / Voltage (Volts)

This formula is based on Ohm's Law, which states that the current flowing through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points and inversely proportional to the resistance between them. For air conditioners, the power rating (in watts) and operating voltage (in volts) are used to determine the current consumption (in amperes).

Example

If an air conditioner has a power rating of 1500 watts and operates at a voltage of 220 volts, the current consumption can be calculated as follows:

Current (Amps) = 1500 W / 220 V ≈ 6.82 A

This means that the air conditioner consumes approximately 6.82 amperes of current while operating.
