Science - Energy / Power Generation
English term or phrase: the instantaneous power consumption of the United States
So this is the largest post power device in the world, that’s also the largest x-ray generator in the world, so in about an hour we’re gonna discharge about 26 million amp through a little thimble size cylinder of wires. This is, you know, hundred times bigger than the instantaneous power consumption of the United States at least.



This is an excerpt of a documentary script about the Fusion Energy, could anyone give me advices about a possible translation in ITALIAN of INSTANTANEOUS POWER CONSUMPTION. Many thanks

Italian translation:consumo istantaneo degli (interi) Stati Uniti
Explanation:
Così.
If you wish, you can call it "consumo istantaneo di potenza" but it's redundant and awkward, actually.
