appliance requires
to
start
up
(starting load) and it's
continued running power requirements (continuous load).
Power consumption
is
rated in watts,
or
it
can be
calculated from Amperes (Amps). This information is
usually stamped
or
printed on
most
appliances and
equipment.
If
this information
is
not indicated on the
appliance
or
equipment, check the owner's manual. For .
electrically sensitive equipment, contact the manufactur-
er
to
determine
if
the device you are using is compatible
with modified sine wave AC.
Multiply:
AC
AMPS
X
110
(AC
voltage)=
WATTS
This formula yields a close approximation
of
the
continuous load
of
your
appliance.
Multiply:
WATTS
X 2 = Starting Load for
most
appliances.
This formula yields a close approximation
of
the starting
load
of
most
appliances. Exceptions are motorized
appliances such as pumps, freezers and air condition-
ers. These appliances can have startup loads
of
up
to
eight times the rated watts.
