Electricity Calculating Electric Power

When installing new appliances, equipment, tools, or any type of electrical convenience, it is important to know the electrical requirements for the item that you wish to connect.

It is equally important to know the availability and capacity of your electrical service.

Amps Volts Watts The following relationship exists between Amps, Volts and Watts. Amperes are a measure of the rate of flow of electricity in a conductor. Volts are a measure of electrical pressure. Watts are a measure of the amount of energy or work that can be done by amperes and volts.

Amps Volts Watts Thus, the following relationship exists. Work = Pressure x Flow Or Watts = Volts x Amperes

Amps Volts Watts This formula is commonly referred to as the West Virginia Formula W=VA When we know any two variables of the formula, we can calculate the other.

Formulas Watts = Volts x Amps Volts = Watts / Amps Amps = Watts / Volts

Calculating Amperage If we have a 100 watt lamp plugged into a 120 volt receptacle, we can determine the rate of flow or the amperes for that circuit. Amps = 100 Watts / 120 Volts 100 / 120 =.833 Amps

Calculating Watts If a water heater operates at 20 amps on a 240 volt circuit, what is the wattage of the appliance? Watts = 240 Volts x 20 Amps 4800 Watts =240V x 20A Watts=4800

Calculating Volts If an electric motor operates at 2880 watts and 12 amps, what would be the voltage requirement for that motor? Volts = 2880 Watts / 12 Amps 2880 / 12 = 240 Volts
