AC POWER CONSUMPTION 1/8 power, ohms  (AC Current and Heating, 120Vac)

(1) 1/8 power represents typical operating conditions.

(3) Full power is breaker limited to short periods.

(2) 1/3 power represents peak program levels.

(4) For 230V, multiply AC current by 0.5. For 100V, multiply AC current by 1.25.
