Welding Machine Load Formula
The following equation is used to calculate a Welding Machine Load.
WML = P * T /1000
- Where WML is the Welding Machine Load (kWh)
- P is the power consumption of the welding machine (watts)
- T is the operational hours (hours)
To calculate a welding machine load, multiply the power consumption by the operational hours.
What is a Welding Machine Load?
Definition:
A Welding Machine Load is a measure of the total electricity used by a welding machine during a given period.
How to calculate Welding Machine Load?
Example Problem:
The following example outlines how to calculate a Welding Machine Load.
First, determine the wattage of the welding machine. In this case, the welding machine is rated for a wattage of 4000 watts.
Next, determine the operational hours. This welding machine runs 8 hours per day.
Finally, calculate the Welding Machine Load using the formula above:
WML = P * T /1000
WML = 4000 * 8 /1000
WML = 32 kWh
