Heating element and power question

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Fri Nov 11, 2005 1:51 pm

If a heating element is rated 3500w @ 240v with an alt.rating of 2500w @ 208v ....then how many watts would it be if it was connected to 115v?

And how is that figured out?
Thanks in advance.

I think itll be ard 875 watts.

Not sure abt the equation. wld have to look it up. I read it in the Distilling book.

If this helps
watts = volts x amps
volts = watts/ amps
amps = watts/ volts
