Amperage (Concert Lighting)

A measure of the amount of current flowing in an electric circuit. Devices such as cables and dimmers are rated in terms of their maximum capacity in amps. Devices such as lamps or motors that consume electrical energy rated in terms of amperage required for proper operation. Any technician working with electrical equipment must understand how to properly connect equipment to not create an overload situation. Standard 12/3 stage cable is rated for 20 amps maximum. Amperage=Wattage/Voltage.

Amperage (Import Cars)

The amount of current, expressed in amperes.

Amperage (Lighting)

The amount of electrical current through a conductive source.

Amperage (Wind Energy)

A unit of electrical current, equal to Coulombs per second. This is the flow rate of electrons moving through a circuit, very roughly analogous to gallons per minute flowing from a faucet.
