How to convert electric current of 100 amps (A) to electric power in watts (W).
You can calculate (but not convert) the watts from amps and volts:
For DC power supply, watts are equal to amps times volts.
watts = amps × volts
watts = 100A × 11V = 1100W
For AC power supply, watts are equal to the power factor times amps times volts.
watts = PF × amps × volts
For resistive load without inductors or capacitors, the power factor is equal to 1:
watts = 1 × 100A × 110V = 11000W
For inductive load (like induction motor), the power factor can be approximately equal to 0.7:
watts = 0.7 × 100A × 110V = 7700W
For AC power supply, watts are equal to the power factor times amps times volts.
watts = PF × amps × volts
For resistive load without inductors or capacitors, the power factor is equal to 1:
watts = 1 × 100A × 220V = 22000W
For inductive load (like induction motor), the power factor can be approximately equal to 0.7:
watts = 0.7 × 100A × 220V = 15400W
