Cable Amp Chart

This is a good tool for event electricians. First you need to find out your electrical load in amps. To find your amperage you need to divide your wattage by your voltage.

Example: Your need to power (2) Source four pars at 575 watts each and the line voltage is 120 volts.

1150 total watts / 120 volts = 9.58 amps (I always round up to the nearest even number so will call it 10 amps)
