FAQ
Why 25% headroom? +
Motor inrush is 4-6x running current for 1-2 seconds. Plus future load growth. Always size up.
Three-phase formula? +
kVA = (V × I × √3) / 1000. The √3 factor is the line-to-line vs phase voltage relationship.
Heads up: ClutchCalcs gives you fast, accurate results — but always sanity-check critical decisions (medical, financial, structural) with a professional.
