Hey everyone! I see there are a LOT of questions on how to figure the heat output and volts & amperage requirements for setting up the heater sections of your vacuum table projects. Just follow the easy to use examples on the OHMS Law wheel in the supplied picture. All you will need is a meter to make readings.

Also there is 3.41 BTU's per watt.

Hope this helps all you fledgling electrical engineers!

Remember... BE SAFE... just a small jolt can stop your heart in less than... well a heartbeat!
