What’s Wattage?

Know how to tell whether an electrical circuit is overloaded? The formula is simple. The average baseboard circuit accommodates 15 amperes. Usually, it’s 120 volts. Tofind the wattage, multiply the 15 x 120, and you know immediately that this circuit can handle 1800 watts. That’s one toaster and an iron. The nameplate on each of your appliances lists the amperes and voltages required. From these, you can figure the wattage. By adding the total appliances on the circuit, it's easy to know whether you are overloading.

Household Hints

Use a wooden spoon or fork to stir food cooked in enamelware. The wood leaves no dark marks on the surface so hot
