Wattage Formula


The wattage formula is a calculation that can be used to determine how much power is needed for a task. It takes into account the voltage and current of an electrical circuit to calculate the wattage.

The wattage formula is used to calculate the power requirements for an electrical device. However, the multiplier needs to be adjusted depending on the elevation and temperature of the location. For example, if you are using the wattage formula in Denver (elevation 5,280 feet), you would use a multiplier of 1.073 instead of 1.0. Additionally, if you are using the wattage formula in Death Valley (elevation -282 feet), you would use a multiplier of 0.917 instead of 1.0

The wattage formula is also based on the weight of standard air (0.075 pounds of air per Cfm). This means that when you are calculating the wattage for a blower or fan, you need to know how much air it is moving. You can find this information in the product specs or on the manufacturer’s website.
