This is a two-step question. First, to convert volt-amps into watts, multiply by the power factor. For a heating element like a convector or kettle the power factor is 1, but for a motor it might be 0.7. In the absence of information a power factor of 0.8 can be assumed.
Watts are a measure of power and the equivalent imperial measure is BTU per second or BTU per hour.
Alternatively a BTU is a measure of energy and the metric equivalent is watt-seconds or watt-hours. A BTU is 1055 watt-seconds (also known as joules).
A kilowatt-hour is equivalent to 3412 BTU.

How many amps are in 40 volt amps?
Multiply the vots by the amps to find the volt-amps. Or divide the volt-amps by the voltage to find the amps.
What is the amperage of a 40 va 240 volt by 24 volt control transformer?
The formula for amps is I = W/E. Amps = 40/240 = .17 primary amperage. For the secondary amperage I = W/E. Amps = 40/24 = 1.7 amps.
Does 120 to 240 volt equal 20 amps?
no
How many amps does a 120 volt AC 8 watt led bulb draw?
It is drawing .06 amps.
How many amps does a 3000w inverter 240 v draw from a 12 volt system?
It would be at least 250 amps, maybe 300 amps.
How many amps for a 9000 BTU 240 volt aircon?
2.3kw
Can 125 volt apartment run a 12000 BTU ac?
No, a quick estimate (assuming 100 percent efficiency) is that 12,000 btu/hr is 3500 watts and at 125 volts would draw 28 amps, but only about 14 amps at 250 vac.
How many amps are in 40 volt amps?
Multiply the vots by the amps to find the volt-amps. Or divide the volt-amps by the voltage to find the amps.
How many amps for 12000 btu?
The Amps means the volume of flow of electricity. The Amps depends on its BTU (British Thermal Unit). BTU is the unit to measure the energy that is consumed to perform some Air Conditioner. 12000 BTU Air conditioners uses 5 to 6 Amps. 18000 BTU Air conditioners uses 9 to 10 Amps. 12000 BTU air conditioners also called 1 Ton AIR CONDITIONER and 18000 BTU Air conditioners are called 1.5 Ton and so on. The 2 Ton or 24000 BTU Air conditioners use 15 Amps to work.
How many AMPs is 18000btu at 220volts?
A btu is a measure of energy, but 18,000 btu per hour is a power of 5.22 kW, which is 5220/220 amps, 24 amps.
How large a 110 volt generator is needed for a 40 amp 12 volt battery charger?
amps*volts=watts 40 amps *12 volts= 480watts watts/volts=amps 480watts/110volts=4.36363636amps So you need a 110 volt generator that can produce about 5 amps as a bare minimum. To take into account system heat loses that occur when converting power consider doubling it to be safe. (this is over kill but the advantage is that your generator is not working at full capacity at all times)
What is the difference between amps and volt-amps?
Amps is a measure of current flowing in a circuit. Volt-Amps or (VA) is a measure of power and is equivalent to wattage for a pure resistive load.
Can a 12000 btu window air conditioner run on a 110 wall out let?
if the nameplate says 120 volt, then yes. but might trip breaker if the circuit is overloaded and or only 15 amps
Is there BTU loss when converting gas to LP?
Converting propane gas to liquid propane is a state change, not a chemical one. Therefore there is no loss of BTU/liter generated when it is burned.
Does a 220 volt Air Conditioner cost less to operate than a 110 volt with the same btu?
They are both energy efficient units if they are of the newer thermostatically controlled units, generally a 220 volt system may draw less amps while setting on a lower temp range but again you should be able to view its electrical values at the time of shopping for one, ask for the efficiency rating charts for each unit.
How many volt amps in 12 volt battery?
Depends on the battery. It is listed on the battery as Cold Cranking Amps (CCA).
How do you convert 208 volt amps to 480 volt amps?
Add another leg of 120 to a three pole breaker.
