PA power requirements


i was given the task to calculate the the level requirements of the PA set up. the formula used in the table below was how i was able to work out the power level of each piece of equipment from Ws to amps.  


F.O.H sub
300w x 1.4 = 420W
420W / 230 = 1.83Amps x 2 = 3.66 Amps
3.66
F.O.H main
300w x 1.4 = 420W
420W / 230 = 1.83Amps x 2 = 3.66Amps
3.66
Mixing desk
80w x 1.4 = 112W
112W / 230 = 0.49Amps
0.49
Mackie monitors
1050w x 1.4 = 1470W
1470W / 230 = 6.4Amps
6.4
Wedge monitor
300w x 1.4 = 420W
420W / 230 = 1.83Amps
1.83
Yamaha monitors(1xsmall/1x large)
320w + 300w = 620 x 1.4 =868W
868 / 230 = 3.78Amps
3.78
Guitar amp
300w x 1.4 = 420W
420W / 230 = 1.83Amps
1.83
Bass amp
73w x 1.4 =102w
102W / 230 = 0.45Amps
0.45
keyboard
8w x 1.4 = 12W
12W / 230 = 0.06Amps
0.06
Feedback destroyer
1A x 1.4 = 1.4A
1.4Amps
1.4
midiverb
0.78a + 0.85a = 1.63 x 1.4 = 2.3A
2.3Amps
2.3
Total(rounded) 
26Amps


this is the link i used to work out the results.
