Voltage question

angnak · 08-13-2004, 09:16 PM

I know this is probably in the wronf forum, but i figured the mods can move it. Sorry for the extra work.

Anyway, I have a Aqua medic Titan Chiller and I am trying to figure out the voltage on it. I know nothing about electricity. It says it is 375W. If anymore info is needed let me know.

Thanks

if you know the current you can use the equation V=P/I
where I=current (amp) P=power (watt) and V=potential (volt)

There should be something on the id tag that tells line voltage...Keep looking...It must be there somewhere...If it was built for U.S. market, most likely it;s 110/120, but it COULD be made for 220. What kind of plud does it have? If it's a regular electrical plug like for your wall outlets, it's 110...If it's 220, it should have a much different plug on it...

It should be 120 volts... I am somewhat familar with these units, and I have never seen a 375 watt chiller that is 220 volts. If in doubt, go to the aquamedic site and contact them.

It has just a regular plug. So i am going under the assumption that it is 120v. Thanks everyone.
