So pretty much you're saying "good luck finding out" :laughing:
No it doesn't, throw a meter on that saw and get back to me.
Well, OK. I'm giving the textbook solution which neglects to account for some factors.![]()
Dustincoc said:What's confusing? Volts * Amps =Watts Watts/1000=kilowatts Fill in the numbers you know and solve for the number you don't have. You only need to do the calculations in this instance if you have amps instead of watts since watts is what matters for your question. More watts = more expensive
How many hours is my worm saw, chop saw, sawzall, heater, lights, drills, ect. going to be running tomorrow? That's what you will never know. So how would you calculate that?
Why is this question being asked anyway?Has the contract gone into such detail?

Or what the draw of the tools will be....
Slap a ted 5000 on your extension cord.
Like I said, its the textbook solution which neglects to consider a few factors.
It's so in accurate it doesn't even qualify as a solution. You would get better results with random numbers on a dart board.
