I should know the answer to this....but I dont. I have a hot tub that is on a 240v/60A breaker. This tub uses a neutral as there are timers and lights that run on 120V. While the heater is on I see roughly 22-24 amps on each of the hots going to the control board. When figuring the total wattage of this hot tub while the heater is on do add the total current draw (22a x 2)?? The reason I ask is I have one of these PG@E smart meters and while its on it says Im using ~5.4kw.
If I calculate 22a x 2 = 44a
240v x 44a = 10,560watts
Im I calculating this incorrectly? Ive been a grunt for too long!
