mAv.....what is this?

While looking for the current draw of some cathodes, they said, "Current draw: 5.0 mAv". What is mAv? I checked a couple other places and they also said mAv.

Zeturi JUST posted a thread like this today, lol.

I know snow. They are related. We think we may have gotten this solved in chat. mAv may = ma* V....which is just resistance. Grossaffe thinks they may use this notation to make it easier to figure out ma draw. Anyway.

Hot Dang.

That's seriously what I thought it was.

I remember seeing this type of thing before, I definitely remember Wv.

Amps times volts is watts, not resistance. So they're giving you a power rating. Except it's mA so you use a decimal.

grossaffe lied to me

Oops, you're right P = VI
