EXAMPLE 1: If a drill uses 4.5 amperes at 115 volts, calculate its running power
requirement in watts.
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 Example 1,
add the individual loads to calculate total load.
