12 Thermocouple Types and Color Codes
Ohm's Law says:
Example: If the resistance is 12.5 ohms, and the input voltage is 240 volts, you would
divide 240 by 12.5 to calculate the maximum amperage draw on that heating element:
240 / 12.5 = 19.2 amps
19.2 Amps x 240 volts = 4,608 watts.
In hot runner molding, some portions of Ohm's law are more useful than others. We have
only presented here those laws that apply.
