Volts, amps, and watts in a power system | Eaton PSEC
9:08
Learn about volts, amps, and watts! From a design perspective, volts, amps, and watts are fundamental units of electricity within electrical power systems. Follow along as Seth So, Power Systems Experience Center Engineer, begins by explaining loads and sources of electricity. We then discuss volts, amps, and watts and then describe watt-hours, which are a unit measurement of power over time. Building upon that, Seth explains how this affects homeowners in residential, single-phase power systems. Finally, we combine everything to illustrate how these principal concepts of power help determine how more complex three-phase electrical systems are designed. Thank you for watching one of our many educational videos on the topic of power systems.
