Recommended Learning Path
- Use single-phase or three-phase power to find kW and kVA.
- Use kW to amps when current is the unknown.
- Use the power triangle to understand how PF changes kVA.
- Use correction kVAR only after the operating load and target PF are known.

Common Mistakes
- Using kW and kVA interchangeably when PF is below 1.0.
- Entering line-to-neutral voltage in a line-to-line three-phase formula.
- Using running current as a final code sizing value.
Limitations and Assumptions
These tools use standard steady-state formulas. Motor starting, harmonics, demand, code rules, and equipment limits must be checked separately.
