The easiest way to measure amperage is through the use of a digital multimeter. Make sure it is set to read amperage, you can then use a clamp on meter around the "hot" leg and record the actual amperage. If you do not have access to a ammeter clamp, you can open the circuit and insert the probes in series with the circuit. This will allow all electrons to pass through the meter and give you an accurate reading. Once you know your amperage, use the formula: Wattage = amperage x voltage.
