  1. Multiply volts time amps (assuming this is a single-phase application )- so 4 * 115 = 470 watts.

    But that's the power thats consumed, not generated.


  2. No power is generated.  Nominally 575 watts of electric power are consumed.  The details vary by how you measure it (VA or watts), and by the actual current draw of the heater (vs. its rating).  Is there a real question here, or did you just want someone to do your homework for you?
