power rating

Electrical strength measurement

A power rating is the amount of electrical power a device can safely handle or produce, typically measured in watts.

Amplifiers, speakers, and electrical components all carry power ratings to indicate their capacity: The speaker has a power rating of 100 watts.

Exceeding a device's power rating risks damage or failure.
