[edit | edit source]Assuming that all wattage consumed will end up as dissipated heat (servers do very little mechanical work or yield very little light);
Wattage times 3.41 = BTU/hr
Example:
Server draws 10 amps at 120vac
10 amps X 120 vac = 1200 voltamps (aprox 1200 watts) 1200 VA X 3.41 = 4092 BTU/hr
