In calculating power in a three-phase circuit, the product of line voltage and line current is multiplied by which value?

In a three-phase circuit, when calculating power, the product of the line voltage and the line current is multiplied by the square root of three, which is approximately 1.732. This factor accounts for the relationship between line and phase quantities in a three-phase system.

In three-phase systems, the power (often referred to as active or real power) can be calculated using the formula:

[ P = \sqrt{3} \times V_L \times I_L \times \text{Power Factor} ]

Where ( P ) is the total power, ( V_L ) is the line voltage, ( I_L ) is the line current, and the power factor accounts for the phase difference between voltage and current if it is not unity. The square root of three arises because the power in three-phase systems is derived from the combination of three sinusoidal currents that are phase-shifted by 120 degrees from each other.

The other values provided do not accurately represent any significant factor in the calculation of power in three-phase circuits.
