Found it. 275 watts and 2.392 amps.
#7

I tested mine at 110 volts and I get 1.9 amps. So right around 210 Watts rounded up. This doesn’t take into consideration peak current when it’s being pushed. But you get the general idea.
I built a bucking transformer using a 3 amp 12.6v transformer. I run around 121 volts normally, so half the winding is fine.
