Its published in the specs and on the tag plate.
Most micro's I've seen is marked 800W asfair. Use P = U * I ;)
ballpark of 1.2kW for a mid sized domestic microwave oven.
Amperes depend on supply voltage.

800W is popular as _output_ power. But the input power is usually >1kW. But, it's marked on the plate like someone other mentioned, and the amperage can be calculated from it by P = U * I, like you mentioned :-)Join the Discussion
