In practical terms, the ampere is a measure of the amount of electric charge passing a point per unit time. One ampere of Current represents one coulomb of electrical charge moving past a specific point in one second.
Â
To calculate how many amps of power maybe used by a particular device, divide Watts by Voltage. Less is better than more in DC Voltage systems, as most boats have limited generation.
