Abstract
A method for determining power consumption levels of an appliance includes reducing a power consumption of the appliance to a minimum value; measuring a first voltage value at an internal terminal of the appliance; increasing the power consumption of the appliance to a factory default value; measuring a second voltage value at the internal terminal of the appliance; computing a supply wire resistance based on the measured first and second voltage values; and determining a maximum allowable power consumption value of the appliance based on the computed supply wire resistance.
