[QUOTE="Rob Timmerman, post: 141275, member: 172"] Re: Calculating Consumption in Watts, Total System Draw And to muddy the waters a bit, if you are running these calculations to determine what size power distribution you need (how many circuits of what size), it's best to use the current draw on the equipment, not the power consumption. This is because many pieces of equipment have non-unity power factor, and that can require more current available than the power consumption would indicate. [/QUOTE]
