Answer:

800W

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Voltage = 230 V

Model = VSO Ha

Power = 800 W

Power is calculated by the multiplication of voltage and current flowing through an electric circuit.

Mathematically, power is given by the formula;

Power = current * voltage

The S.I unit for power is Watts and it is a measure of the energy consumption of an electronic device.
