[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1760566, member: 46727"] Not sure if this would give you an accurate result but the electronic formula: P = EI can give you an approximate current consumption. Keep in mind that the iMac will draw more current if it's working hard. P = Watts E = 120V (US or Canada) I = Current in Amps. Note that the above really only works accurately for pure DC circuits. AC circuits involve phase so a more complicated formula is needed, however, the above should get you in the general ballpark. [/QUOTE]
