Helpful Hints on Ordering your Electrical Power

You can determine the wattage rating by looking on the back or bottom of the appliance. If it doesn’t show the wattage, most

appliances will have amperage and voltage rating. Simply take the amperage and multiply it by the voltage; (example: 8 amps X

120 volts = 960 watts so you would round up to the nearest wattage on the order form or you would order a 1000 watt outlet.

If you have lighting in your booth simply add the wattage for each bulb. Ten 100 watt light bulbs, you would order a 1000 watt

outlet.

If you would like us to assist you in determining your power needs, please send us a list of items to be connected in your booth

and we will give you your best estimate.

This is a list of approximate power usages and is a guide only. Always check the ratings on your equipment for exact power requirements.
