Power Usage Guide
It’s not always easy to determine how much power a piece of equipment requires. You’ll need to find the rating stamp which is usually found on the back or bottom of most devices.
Some manufacturers make it more difficult to find so you may need to examine the transformer or power brick that plugs into the wall. For objects such as refrigerators and microwaves, the rating can be found inside the door.
Below, we have assembled a nice collection of common trade show devices and the wattage they use to help you with your estimates.
Please only use this guide as a general reference, these may not be your exact wattages for your devices.
