How much power (watts) does this pad draw?
592695
Don't know but I can tell you that I see no change in our electric bill when we use it so it must be very little.Also, its great since there's separate controls on it. My wife heats up her side all night and I just heat my side up about 5 minutes prior to going to bed and then turn it off. Very satisfied with it to date.

I have both the queen size dual zone and twin (one zone) pads. All the zones have the same controller with the same power consumption listed.Input power 120V 1A for a power input of 120 wattsOutput power 16V 3.5A for a power output of 56 wattsThis would be the maximum power usage, the controller goes from 1 to 10.

The power consumed is approximately 1 watt (much less than a typical night light). The pads use between 16 and 18 volts depending upon model. Other electric pads in North America use 120 volts. It also has a 10 hour automatic shutoff feature.

Straight from the back of the device itself as follows-----&gt; 120V 60Hz 5.0W .... so I'm saying five watts. Hope this helps.

No it will not harm your pad, your converter should always be a higher wattage.

If I am reading the heating pad correctly, it is 120V 49W. Hope that helps.

OK time for Class.... 1st it is rated at 500 watts. Here is Ohms law to help figure it out. P=ExI or P= I^2xR or P= E^2/R.... that said an owners manual for your product will most likely tell you how many Watts of Power your Equipment will Draw. i HAVE always went by a "Rule of Thumb" and run at around 3/4 of max power. 500 Watts would be MAX PEEK POWER so i take 500 x .75=375WATTS and it has served me well. Right now i run my Computer, a 32" flat screen TV and my external Hard Drive off the one i have. It has been in Continueous operation for almost 3 years now. If you need a Class on the "in rush" of current just ask! OK time for Class.... 1st it is rated at 500 watts. Here is Ohms law to help figure it out.

I think the pad plugs into a power box that you buy separately. It is still unclear to me. They need to do a better job marketing it. I would still like to use it.

in reality it draws about 30 watts dc or about 2 1/2 amps dc i turn it off when not using it.....

It doses use AC current - plugs into a standard 110V outlet. I don't think you can get Pad in the 30 pin dock though. you may need an adapter cable.

I checked last night. Power ratings are listed in the bottom of the product. It looks like it's 300 watts.

I used a Killawatt unit to measure my new ADR30A2G. With the fan speed on low it uses 276 watts. It was also drawing 2.59 amps and after 4 hours it used 1.07 kwh. Where I live that cost me around 8 cents, or 2 cents an hour, or a half a buck per day.

Bill, I cannot answer this. How much power does it draw? How long does it need to power it before you would consider it viable? Sorry.

This is not a low voltage pad, But I must say mine works great. Not worried about higher voltage as the power is lowered by the controls.

Voltage is not measured in Watts.....5 volts. It draws 0.4 amp or 400 mili Amp most likely. (it also makes sense). But why are you concern about power input??

I've been using it side by side with a digital usage meter provided by my utility company (SMUD) and it is always within 30 Watts (shows 30W less). Not a scientific test though :).

According to my kill-a-watt, it is drawing 24 watts. Only measured for a minute or so.

Not sure. I plugged it into a 15 amp circuit and had no issues. The specs say it is 250 watts which means 2-3 amps.

The unit has a UL label on the bottom that says 1500 watts. I doubt if it actually uses quite that much power. I don't have a clamp on amp meter and decline to build a rig to measure the voltage and current while it is in use. You could measure the amount of water, the temperature change and calculate the power required presuming perfect efficiency. All of that I decline to do as well. Sorry all I got is the 1500 watts.If you are worried about current draw on a given circuit I expect that this thing will draw around 12 to 13 amps. That is a guess not a professional opinion.
