Question: how much power is in an outlet?
Answer: In the U.S., a typical outlet is rated at 15 amps, 120 volts. This equates to about 1800 watts. Some outlets may be rated for 20 amps, 120 volts, or 2400 watts max load. A 20 amp outlet can be identified if the neutral (long) slot is a horizontal “T” shape.
