Some common three phase power equations can be expressed as

Real Power

Wapplied = 31/2 U I PF / 1000         (1)

where

Wapplied = real power (Kilowatts)

U = voltage (volts)

I = current (Amps)

PF = power factor - 0.7 - 0.95

Total Power

W = 31/2 U I / 1000         (2)

Brake Horsepower

WBHP = 31/2 U I PF μ / 746         (3)

where

WBHP = brake horse power (hp)

μ = device efficiency
