In a three phase system the watts(P)= I(amps) x E(volts) x Sq root of three(1.732) so your 11watts =I x E (240) x1.732 240 x 1.732=416 rounded 11=I x416 I=11/416=.02644 amps to convert kilowatts to amps divide the watts by the expressed voltage….good luck from the E…

Ok, that’s better! Kilowatts into amps is like converting Oranges into Telephones! You gave: 3phase 220/240 11 watts…how many amps is that I’ll average the voltage just for simplicity and call it 230 V P=E*I where P= Power in watts E= Electromotive force (Volts) I= Intensity (Amperes) Solve for I: 11 watts=230 volts*I Amps Therefore 11/230=I = 0.047826 Amps (47.826mA or milliAmps) But this is 3 phase! Ideally it’s preferred to talk of current for single phase measurements so there is a conversion factor of Sq. Rt. 3 to consider! So the Current in Amps when mathematically converted from 3 phase to single phase becomes: 0.047826/sq.rt 3 = 0.047825/1.73 = 0.027645087 Amps Single phase (or 27.
