Calculating the total combined power used by the system
1 From the previous worksheet, enter the total current for each
column in the Power Usage Worksheet 2.
2 Multiply the voltage by the total current to get the total wattage
for each voltage level.
3 Add the total wattage for each voltage level to arrive at the total
combined power usage of the power supply.
