    Hi, Listees,    Larry W. wrote 110 volts @ 1 amp equal 1000 watts.  
Au Contraire
- 110 volts @ 1 amp = 110 watts.  Otherwise, Power equals current times 
voltage.
Current equals voltage E(electromotive force) divided by Current I.  Or 
to
determine the amount of current (amps) a device requires, look at the 
power
rating and divide by the operating voltage I = Power/Voltage.  You can 
also
determine any of the other parameters if you know the resistance 
(impedance) of
the device by the formula P = current squared times the resistance.   I 
think
Larry may have just misplaced that elusive decimal point.
