12-4. How Much Power Does Equipment Require?

1 Resistive Load
A light bulb is a resistive load and
requires a constant amount of power.
2 Non-Resistive Load
Equipment with a motor is a non-re-
sistive load and requires approxi-
mately six times more power while
starting the motor than when running
3 (see Section 12-8).
VOLTS 115 3 Rating Data
2 AMPS 4.5
1 Hz 60 Rating shows volts and amperes, or
watts required to run equipment.
Amperes x Volts = Watts
Example 1: If a drill uses 4.5 am-
peres at 115 volts, calculate its run-
ning power requirement in watts.
3 4.5 A x 115 V = 520 W
The load applied by the drill is 520
watts.
Example 2: If three 200 watt flood
lamps are used with the drill from Ex-
ample 1, add the individual loads to
calculate total load.
(3 x 200W) + 520 W = 1120 W
The total load applied by the three
flood lamps and drill is 1120 watts.
