Electrical current is measured in amperes or "amps" for short.

To calculate amps you would take watts of the product divided by volts.

Formula: amp = watt / volt or A = W / V

Example

What is the current in amps when the power consumption is 330 watts and the voltage supply is 120 volts?

I = 330W / 120V = 2.75A
