Concept:

Input power of 3 phase motor = 3 VP IP cos ϕ

Where,

VP = phase voltage

IP = phase current

cos ϕ = power factor

For different phase rating,

Input power of 3 phase motor = Vp1 Ip1 cos ϕ + Vp2 Ip2 cos ϕ + Vp3 Ip3 cos ϕ

Calculation:

Input power of 3 phase motor = (230 X 5 X 1) + (230 X 4.5 X 1) + (230 X 5.5 X 1)    

Input power of 3 phase motor = 3,450 Watt
