Current Efficiency Calculator
Enter the values of actual measured current, AM(A) and theoretical maximum current, TM(A) to determine the value of Current efficiency, EC.
Current Efficiency Formula:
Current efficiency is a measure of how effectively an electrical system or process converts the input current into useful output.
It is typically expressed as a percentage and is crucial for assessing the performance and efficiency of electrical devices, electrochemical processes, and energy storage systems.
High current efficiency indicates minimal losses and optimal performance, while low current efficiency suggests inefficiencies that may need to be addressed.
Current efficiency, EC in percentage is calculated by dividing the product of actual measured current, AM(A) in amperes and 100 by theoretical maximum current, TM(A) in amperes.
Current efficiency, EC = AM(A) * 100 / TM(A)
EC = current efficiency in percentage.
AM(A) = actual measured current in amperes, A.
TM(A) = theoretical maximum current in amperes, A.
Current Efficiency Calculation:
- Calculate the current efficiency for a process with an actual measured current of 80 amperes and a theoretical maximum current of 100 amperes:
Given: AM(A) = 80A, TM(A) = 100A.
Current efficiency, EC = AM(A) * 100 / TM(A)
EC = 80 * 100 / 100
EC = 80%.
- Suppose a process has a current efficiency of 90% and an actual measured current of 45 amperes. Calculate the theoretical maximum current:
Given: AM(A) = 45A, EC = 90%.
Current efficiency, EC = AM(A) * 100 / TM(A)
TM(A) = AM(A) * 100 / EC
TM(A) = 45 * 100 / 90
TM(A) = 4500 / 90
TM(A) = 50A.
