DC watts to amps calculation

The current I in amps (A) is equal to the power P in watts (W), divided by the
voltage V in volts (V):
I(A) =
P(W) V(V)
Example
P = 200W, V = 40V
I=
200W 40V
= 5A

AC single phase watts to amps calculation

The phase current I in amps (A) is equal to the power P in watts (W), divided by
the power factor PF times the RMS voltage V in volts (V):
I(A) =
 P(W) PF × V(V)
The power factor of resistive impedance load is equal to 1.
Example
P = 2000W, V = 110V, PF = 0.8
I=
2000W 0.8×110V
= 22.72727A
