How much power does an In-Line Duct Fan use?

Example: The DB206, 6″ diameter In-Line Duct Fan is rated at 0.35 Amp. For a 120 Volt product, that is 0.35 x 120 = 42 Watt. This is the maximum motor STARTING Watts. Once the fan runs, the actual wattage is 27 Watts. Like a small light bulb. In the manufacturers product specifications section, Inductors are listed by Amperage. As a rule of thumb, running Amperage is about 60% of the listed (start) Amperage. So, to figure it out: Listed Amperage times Voltage (120 Volt) equals startup Watts. Actual running Watts are about 60% of that.
