how much electric-capacity? (WATT)
1789829
Using ohms law, at 110 volts, and 4.5 amps, the unit will be using very near 500 watts.

Sorry, I don't know the electric capacity. I would contact Wast King at 1-800-854-3229. I called them a couple times and they were very knowledgeable and helpful.

The ohms law answer is incorrect. Manufacturers always use a current rating in their UL safety application which is much higher than the devices actual usage. A better way to calculate the wattage is to work backwards from the horsepower. There are 746W to 1HP, so a 1/2 HP motor will use 372W.

Watt is Power = Voltage * Current; In this case 12V * 20A = 240W. Anyone, feel free to chime in if im missing something.

I would not load it to the max due to overheating which is what takes out the tranformers so I would use 13 no more than 14. Max watt 60-70.

From manufacturer spec ; max current is 3.9 amps. Watts=voltage x current; 120v x3.9amps = 1825 watts

Watts are calculated from voltage and amps. The output wattage would depend on the current (amps) being drawn. If your load is 1 amp, the device will "push out" 120watts. Unless you have something drawing 5 amps all the time, the device won't provide 600watts

I'm not sure of the wattage, and have not had any of the problems others have had. My electric bill hasn't changed much so I think it's doing what it's supposed to. Also, My bulb is still going strong after months of daily use. It is at full brightness as soon as I turn it on. My light is on from 7am until 5-6pm 5days a week. Occasionally it's off for 30 min here and there, but it's always as bright as the day I got it. Luv luv luv my bulb.

It says the current draw is .06 amps. So according to Ohm's law: Watts = Voltage x Current. So, .06 x 12 = .72 watts.

Watts = Voltage x Amperage so maximum current draw would be 6v x 0.5a = 3 Watts?That either really efficient or my math is broken.

Use a PSU calculator to determine necessary wattage. (http://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp)

That's referring to the load on the switch. Or number and size of lights. Usually I thought it was stated in watts, but can be converted.

I too would like to know the wattage. I can not purchase without this info?????

Dont know.... bought this as a gift ...I never recieved it .... but I've done enough Appliance repairs to know that 1500 Watts translatesto 15 Amperes: +/- oneAmp, and many times a low setting is about half that..... Hair Dryers, esp.......

Ideally would be 24 watts, without considering conversion losses etc. Being a switching supply, it should be close to the that (basic formula is P=I*E, P is power, I is current, E is volts).

Sorry for the late reply:I think the wattage is calculated using an algorithm (speed, incline, etc.). I have never used a power meter before so I am afraid I cannot comment on how accurate it is.

Divide the maximal amount of watts (1500) by the number of volts (120). That would be (12.5). I would trust the manufacturer's claim of 12.6.

I plugged it into an outdoor outlet with a 45 watt harbor freight panel set. It says it can handle up to 250 watts, so I had room to spare. I actually plugged it into a kill-a-watt meter so I could see how much it was putting in. Seems I remember it only putting in 27 watts in full sunlight. It worked fine for about a week and then it stopped altogether. There was no user-serviceable fuse to replace. I had to insist on a full refund as they wanted to send a replacement. I would steer away from this particular one. Try to find one with at least a year's warranty on it if you can.

I just read the online user manual, and watts is one of the readings you can get. See pages 9 & 10. http://www.p3international.com/manuals/p4460_manual.pdf
