power

Converts electrical power in watts to current in amps (and milliamps) for a given voltage, using the DC power formula P = V * I. Also computes the implied load resistance via Ohm's law (R = V / I) assuming a purely resistive load. This is the most common electrical conversion for circuit design, fuse selection, wire sizing, and breaker rating. Use the output amps value to feed into wire_gauge for conductor sizing or voltage_drop for cable loss analysis. Covers DC circuits; for AC with power factor, adjust watts to true power first.
