Second, the maximum expected average current under worst case program material, which is 1/3 of full
power according to the FTC standard. At this level the music will be in the state of constant clip and is
therefore the highest power level one can obtain without completely obliterating the program.
Last , the "regular operating power" as defined by the safety standard IEC 65/ANSI/UL 6500 and used
by a majority of safety agencies. The regular operating power is measured by using pink noise, and with
an average output power equal to 1/8 of full power. The one eighth of the total power is as loud as you
can play music while making some attempt to avoid obvious clipping. It also corresponds to a headroom
of 9dB, which is very low for regular audio program.

The heat power can be calculated as in the following example:
We consider a headroom of at least 5dB (1/3 of full power) and a 4 ohms load on an amplifier
producing 1500 watts per channel. The 1/3 power per channel is accordingly 1500 / 3 = 500 watts, and
total output 2 x 500 = 1000 watts.
The power consumption according to the chart above is then 1975 watts. This chart shows the active
power consumption of the amplifier with different loads and power levels.
The heat power produced is the difference between the power consumption and output power:
1440 - 1000 = 440 watts per amplifier.
The chart below shows the heat power produced in watts, in kcal per hour, and also in BTU per hour.

The efficiency can also be calculated, it being the output-power divided by the input-power:
1000 watts / 1440 watts= 69%.
