The vocabulary associated with the word “power” is wide: point, peak, pulse, crest, summit, top and so on.

​

The electrical power (wattage) of any apparatus is determined by Ohm's law

​

P=VxI

and its correct name is

"AVERAGE POWER"

​

Therefore, establishing what is the real release power of a generator is simple: just calculate the voltage (V) and multiply it by the electric current absorbed (A), thus obtaining the average power (once again, P=V x I). In order to avoid unpleasant surprises, try this simple test on a generator you already use or on one that has been offered to you! It is also important to consider the equipment efficacy, which mainly depends on the project and on the components used –therefore, in order to have a realistic outcome it is advisable to subtract 10-15% from the value obtained with the equation.

Finally, such result refers to the average power released from the generator, which, in turn, supplies transducers. In this phase, other factors intervene, such as coupling, impedance, resonance, mass, gluing and welding of the transducers on vibrating stainless steel plates.

In conclusion, before deciding on a purchase it is strongly recommended to perform practical tests. Indeed, only accurate practical tests will be able to simulate the real working conditions and performances of the equipment you are about to install -this is why tests should always be offered as part of customer service.!!!.
