It depends on the voltage. Please restate the question and provide the voltage.

In general, however, simply divide total power by KV to get KA. Remember the KWH is an integral, so you need to back calculate KW. If the month is a 30 day month, then KW is KWH / 30 / 1440. Then, if the load is star, simply divide by three; if the load is delta, divide by three and multiply by 1.732, the square root of 3.

Example: 480 three phase running star. 8000 / 30 / 1440 is 185 amperes. 185 divided by 3 is 62 amperes per phase. For delta, that becomes 107 amperes.

What amp breaker for a 220 volt 8000 watt sauna?

A sauna heating element is a resistive load. The equation that you are looking for is Amps = Watts/Volts = 8000/220 = 36 amps. A #8 copper conductor with an insulation rating of 90 degrees C is rated at 55 amps. This will be fed with 40 amp two pole breaker.


When analog voice signal converts into digital signal the bandwidth needs 64kbps. Why?

PCM technique is used to convert analog voice signals into digital. In PCM the analog frequency is first sampled and then converted into binary bits. Each samples are taken as 8bits long. Basic communication theory requires that a minimum sampling rate of twice the frequency of the signal to be sampled will result in an accurate representation of the original signal.Human voice can have max 4000hz frequency, therefore sampling rate should be 8000 samples/sec.Which implies required bit rate for transmitting voice is 8000*8 = 64000 bits/sec = 64kbps.


What is 8 mega ohms equal to in kilo ohms?

Mega is 8 X 10^6 and Kilo is 8000 X 10^3. For every 3 you go down in powers you divide by 1000, so 8 Mega ohms is 8,000,000 ohms. 8,000 Kilo ohms or 0.008 Giga ohms.


What size of wire should you use to wire a 8 kw heat strip at 240 volts?

Wire sizes are based on amperage. To find the amperage of a 8 kW or 8000 watt strip heater the following formula is used. I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts, 8000/240 = 33 amps. Legally and the electrical code stated that conductors can only be loaded to 80% of their rated capacity. A #10 copper wire with an insulation rating of 90 degrees C is rated at 30 amps. A #8 copper wire with an insulation rating of 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 45 amps. Calculating a #8 wire, the ampacity is 45 amps x .80 = 36 amps. The load only draws 33 amps so it looks like your feeder size for the 8 kW heater will be a #8 with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C.


Are titan portable generators any good?

Not reading very good reviews on TITAN GENERATORS. There is an issue with their 240v breakers only tripping on one leg of the 240v. That's dangerous! I don't like that at all. I just talked to a man selling an 8000 w generator that he claims cost $2700.00 and ran it for 1 hour. Now he only wants $950.00. Sounds too good to be true, so I think I will pass on that one.
