Notes & Definitions
- Watts: The unit of real power consumption in electrical systems.
- Amps: The unit of electrical current flow through a circuit.
- Voltage: The electrical potential difference that drives current flow.
- Power Factor: Ratio of real power to apparent power, indicating efficiency.
- Circuit Load: Percentage of circuit capacity being utilized.
- Circuit is heavily loaded. Consider using a higher-rated circuit.
- Exceeds circuit capacity! Must be distributed across multiple circuits.
