amperage

[ am-per-ij, am-peer- ]

/ ˈæm pər ɪdʒ, æmˈpɪər- /

the strength of an electric current measured in amperes. Abbreviation: amp.

Origin of amperage

First recorded in 1890–95; ampere + -age

The name plates on electric motors indicate the amperage at full load.

Electricity for the 4-H Scientist |Eric B. Wilson
Then he defines the wave-form, voltage, and amperage entering the circuit and defines whatever is coming out.

With No Strings Attached |Gordon Randall Garrett (AKA David Gordon)
Then the voltage is lowered to a suitable rate, and the amperage raised in proportion, by special machinery, at the point of use.

Electricity for the farm |Frederick Irving Anderson
The amperage, on the other hand, is that of the six cells combined, or 150.

Motors |James Slough Zerbe

It went out at a frequency of about 1,000 kilocycles, had an amperage of approximately zero, but a voltage of two billion.

The Airlords of Han |Philip Francis Nowlan
