On this section of our website, you will find engineering-grade formulas and calculators that allow you to perform your technical calculations quickly and accurately.

Electrical Formulas Calculator (Volt • Watt • Amp • Ohm • kVA)

This tool calculates core electrical formulas for DC / single-phase / three-phase systems. Any values you leave blank will be calculated automatically (when possible).

Ohm’s Law & DC Basics

V = I·R
I = V/R
R = V/I
P = V·I
P = I²·R
P = V²/R
Tips: Enter at least two values (e.g., V and R) and the calculator derives the remaining ones. Negative/zero values are generally not meaningful in most physical cases.

Energy (Wh / kWh) & Time

Total Time (hours)
Energy (Wh)
Energy (kWh)
Formula: E(Wh) = P(W) × t(h) and E(kWh) = E(Wh)/1000.

AC Single-Phase (kW, kVA, Current)

kW = (V·I·cosφ)/1000
kVA = (V·I)/1000
kVAR = kVA·sinφ
Current (A) = (kW·1000)/(V·cosφ)
Note: For resistive loads (e.g., heaters) cosφ is typically close to 1. For motors/inverters, cosφ varies by application.

AC Three-Phase (kW, kVA, Current)

kW = (√3·V·I·cosφ)/1000
kVA = (√3·V·I)/1000
kVAR = kVA·sinφ
Current (A) = (kW·1000)/(√3·V·cosφ)
In three-phase systems, apparent power (kVA) and line current are critical parameters for supply sizing and cable/breaker selection.

Heater Resistance (From Power)

Equivalent Resistance (Ω)
Formula Note
For single-phase/DC: R = V²/P, I = P/V. For a balanced three-phase resistive load, current and phase resistance depend on star/delta connection.
Optional extensions: cable size selection (current density), fuse/breaker selection, voltage drop, plus “system power” sizing including heat losses and efficiency (η).


Band / Nozzle Heater Power Calculator
Metric based calculator (mm & W/cm²). Inch input is also supported. Standard band opening is 5% (editable). Hole areas are subtracted. Safety factor is editable with default 1.05. Currents are calculated as single-phase line current for 230V and 380V.

Ceramic / Mica Plate Heater Calculator
Computes net heated area (cm²) for plate heaters (square, rectangle, oval, half-moon, round, round ring, oval ring), subtracts hole areas, and outputs finished power using W/cm² + safety factor.

1) Material, Watt Density Guide & Settings

Power formula: P(W) = A_net(cm²) × W/cm² × SF

2) Shape, Geometry & Holes

Holes are subtracted as: A_holes = N × π × (d/2)². If multiple hole sizes exist, use an average diameter and total count.

Liquid Tank Heating Calculator (Power & Time)
Select a liquid to auto-load density and specific heat, then enter volume and temperatures. The calculator returns required energy, required heater power, or required heating time.
1) Liquid Properties
If a value is missing, choose Custom and enter density/cp manually. Conversion: 1 kcal = 4186.8 J.
2) Temperature & Heater Inputs
If you enter time, the calculator outputs required power. If you enter power, it outputs required time.

Gas / Air Heating Calculator (Flow-Based)
Calculates required heating power for gases using volumetric flow rate and temperature rise. Select a gas to load density (kg/m³) and specific heat (kcal/kg·°C). Outputs: mass flow, energy rate, required power (kW), and required flow (m³/h).

1) Gas Properties & Flow

If density or cₚ is missing, choose Custom and enter values manually. Conversion used: 1 kcal = 4186.8 J.

2) Temperature & Target

You can use either:
T_in and T_out to define ΔT, or
• directly enter Target ΔT.
If you enter available power, the calculator also returns the maximum achievable ΔT at that flow.
