Watts = volts x amperes. So if your region uses 110 volts, 20 amperes is equivalent to 2200 watts; if your region uses 220 volts, 20 amperes is equivalent to 4400 watts.

How many watts can be put on a 20 amp 208 volt circuit breaker?
20-amp breakers can be found for many different voltage levels. The higher-voltage ones tend to be more expensive. A breaker can be used in a circuit of equal or lower voltage than the rated voltage of the breaker.
How many watts can you run in 20 amp?
20 Amp * 120 Volts = 2400 Watts 2400 Watt * 80% max use = 1920 Watts planned normal usage for a circuit with a 20 Amp breaker.
How can you plug 2000 watts 240v into a 120v 20 amp breaker with out replacing your breaker and all the plugs on the line?
You can't.
Can you run a 1000 watts light bulb with a 20 amp breaker 120v?
Yes, considering you can do that on 15 amp breaker easy.Experience in construction field. The worst that will happen is that the breaker will trip off after a few minutes.In the formula W = A x V. W = 20 x 120 = 2400 watts. If you want you can operate two 1000 watt lamps from a 20 amp breaker operating on 120 volts.
How many watts can a 20 amp breaker handle per hour?
2.3 kw per hour on a 110-120 volt circuit.

You can't.
What is the wire size required for 1800 watts for lamps?
14 gauge will handle it with a 15 amp breaker. If you use 12 gauge use a 20 amp breaker.

How many watts can a 20 amp breaker handle per hour?
2.3 kw per hour on a 110-120 volt circuit.
How many amps does a 60 hp 460 volt motor draw?
750 watts per horse power20 x 750 = 15,000 watts / 220V = 68A68 amps at 220 volts
If installing several base board heaters with various watts what is the max number of watts you can put on one 20 amp 240v breaker?
For safety reasons ( and the National Electric Code) never put more than 75% load on a breaker, so for you case, 20 amp breaker x 75% = 15 amps 15 amps x 240 volts = 3600 watts 3600 watts
Will 2000 watts work on a 20 amp breaker?
The formula to use is I = W/E, assuming that the single breaker is delivering 120 volts, the amperage to the circuit is 16.6 amps. A continuous load on a 20 amp breaker has to be reduced to 80% according to the electrical code. 20 x .8 = 16. So to answer the question, yes, a 20 amp breaker will support a 2000 watt load at 120 volts.
New shop 20 amp circuit 32 amp fixture how many fixtures can be put on circuit?
A 32 amp fixture can not be fed from a 20 amp breaker as the breaker will trip every time.
Can you use 14 wire for a light off a 20 amp circuit?
Yes, in home wiring as long as it is protected by a 15 amp breaker. Remember this circuit will only handle 1800 watts and cannot be loaded to any more than 1440 watts. So if each light is 75 watts then the maximum you can install is 19.
How many 1.2 amp lights can a 20 amp breaker hold?
No more than 13 maximum on a 20 amp circuit.
