To calculate the power, we can use the formula below:
[tex]P=I\cdot V[/tex]Where P is the power (in Watt), I is the current (in Ampere) and V is the voltage (in Volt).
So, using I = 17 A and V = 120 V, we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} P=17\cdot120\\ \\ P=2040\text{ W} \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore the power being used is 2040 Watts.
