The specific amperage of an Instant Pot pressure cooker can vary depending on the model and wattage of the device. However, most Instant Pot models draw between 9 to 13 amps when operating. The wattage of Instant Pot pressure cookers typically ranges from 900 to 1200 watts.
To calculate the amperage, you can use the formula: Amperage = Wattage / Voltage.
For example, if your Instant Pot is rated at 1000 watts and operates at 120 volts (standard for North America), the amperage would be approximately 1000 / 120 = 8.33 amps.
Keep in mind that if you are using an extension cord or power strip, it's essential to ensure that it can handle the required amperage to prevent overheating or electrical issues. Always refer to the manufacturer's specifications or user manual for precise details about your specific Instant Pot model.
