In a single phase motor, Use the formula P=V x A where: P=power, V=voltage; A= current. In a3-phase motor, use the formula P= V x A x sq.rt of3 x pf. Using that formula. calculating for load (amperes) or power (P)  A= P/V x1.732 x power factor. I hope it will help.

p= volt*current                                                                   in single phase motor

p=squre root 3 * volt* current* power factor                in three phase motor

Although both of the above answers are good but if you use a Portable Energy Analyzer you can have a better of electrical quantites like PF, KVAR, KW, KVA, Amps/Phase, Volts, etc.

by using clamp ampere  to measure current for each phase
