Amperes and Voltage

Animation showing an ampmeter

If the wattage is not listed on the appliance, you can still estimate it by finding the current draw (in amperes) and multiplying that by the voltage used by the appliance.

Most appliances in the United States use 120 volts. Larger appliances, such as clothes dryers and electric cooktops, use 240 volts. The amperes might be stamped on the unit in place of the wattage.

If not, find an ammeter to measure the current flowing through it. You can obtain this type of ammeter in stores that sell electrical and electronic equipment.

Take a reading while the device is running; this is the actual amount of current being used at that instant.

Phantom Loads

Also note that many appliances continue to draw a small amount of power when they are switched "off."

These "phantom loads" occur in most appliances that use electricity, such as VCR, televisions, stereos, computers, and kitchen appliances.

Most phantom loads will increase the appliance's energy consumption a few watts per hour. These loads can be avoided by unplugging the appliance or using a power strip and using the switch on the power strip to cut all power to the appliance
