This document calculates the true power, apparent power, and total current for a circuit. It determines that the true power is 1.5 kW, the apparent power is 1.5009 kVA, and the power factor is 0.99994. It then calculates that with an apparent power of 1.5009 kVA at 240 Volts, the total current would be 6.25 amps.

1. 17 VAR

2. S= √(Q2 + P2)
S = √ (17² + 1500²)
S = 1500.09
S =1.5 kW

3. true power
