• By dividing the engine heater wattage by voltage rating of engine heater. Example: (1500 watt / 120 volt) = 12.5 amps • Amperage is determined by a formula contained in OHMS LAW, a series of formulas giving electrical information from known values. Such values as ohms resistance, amperage draw, watts, and volts can be determined. A copy of formulas contained in OHMS LAW can be obtained through J.Jeb Mfg. Co. customer service, found in electrical handbooks, or a local electrical supplier.
