CONVERSIONS
You can look at at your electrical appliances, find the label that contains amperage or wattage ratings and calculate
exact usage by using the formulas below.
• Watts/Volts = Amps
• Amps x Volts = Watts
• Watts/Amps = Volts
EXAMPLE
Most products requiring electricity provide how many amps or watts it typically utilizes. If your electric hot water heater is
always in use (~12.5 amps), and you start your air conditioner (~15.0 Amps) and put on a pot of coffee (~9.0 amps) and
make some toast (~8.0 amps) while watching TV (~ 2.0 amps), you have far exceeded the 30 amp service, resulting in a
tripped breaker. Many people don't take into consideration how much power may be used by the inverters charging
circuits mostly because they are working automatically in the background. 50 amp service has two 50 amp power legs,
providing a total service of 100 amps.
