Connected power = Σ (input watts × quantity)Within this model
Sum of the real electrical input powers you enter. Use the same operating basis for each item. No diversity, simultaneity, starting-current, supply-capacity or protective-device calculation is included.
What the numbers mean
Group identical items together, multiply each input wattage by its quantity, then add the groups. Connected load is distinct from maximum demand. Use electrical input ratings rather than mechanical output power.
A worked example
Five 100 W items plus another five 100 W items have a combined connected input power of 1,000 W, or 1 kW.
