Question 625924
P = E*I
P is power measured in watts
E is voltage measured in volts
I is current measured in amps.
motor data says 180 watts of power are being used and the voltage being applied is 120 volts.
substitute for P and E in the equation to get:
P = E*I becomes:
180 = 120*I
divide both sides of this equation by 120 to get:
180 / 120 = I
this makes I = 180/120 = 3/2 amps = 1.5 amps.
