14-4. How Much Power Does Equipment Require?

1 Resistive Load

VOLTS 115 AMPS 4.5

Hz 60

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 (see Section 14-8).

3 Rating Data

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.

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.
