WATTAGE AND POWER
Watts is a measure of electrical POWER. In most cases, approximate watts can be found by
multiplying VOLTS times AMPS. For example, if a certain appliance requires 10 amps of current
at 120 volt:
WATTS = VOLTS X AMPS
WATTS = 120 X 10
WATTS = 1200
STOPPING THE ENGINE
That particular appliance requires approximately 1200 watts for its operation.
