a quick note that might help here. I've noticed that we often have to compair watts vs amp loads on our circuts. Try this out. There is a simple way to convert this. I use the P.I.E method at work all the time. So P (watts) = I (amps) x E (volts). so for an example I have a 500 watt heater and I want to know the amp draw at 110 volt supply
500 = (?) x 110. A little math here shows that by dividing my watts by the volts I can find my amp draw and in this case it is 4.54 amps.
Maybe this will help some of us when figuring out wiring.

Thanks for posting this.

Really helpful for a general idea of what's being drawn from a line.

Be careful as one might become frightened by the numbers they come up with. I did this and instantly started to find ways of lessoning my electrical footprint.
I'm glad it can be of some use.
