How many watts does a 1000 watt 480 volt sports light draw?
Your question answers itself... 1000 watts, when operated on a 480-volt source..
How many amps are required to run a 240-volt 5500-watt water heater element?
Current (Amps) = Power (Watt)/Voltage (V) Therefore a 4500W heating element will draw 18.75A = 4500W/240V
List the units for measuring current and voltage?
The unit of voltage is the "volt". The unit of current, sometimes called "amperage", is the "ampere".
How much kw 1kva?
It is just product of voltage and current at unity powerfactor(UPF) or power at UPF. 1kva is one kilovolt amp or 1000 volts at 1000 amps.
What is the incandescent equivalent of a 40 Watt halogen bulb?
A halogen bulb IS ITSELF a type of incandescent illumination source. A 40 Watt traditional incandescent bulb usually emits about 400 to 500 lumens while a halogen may emit close to twice that. So a 25 W halogen might give out as much light as ah older style 40 W bulb.
Which 12 volt bulb will draw the most current when connected to a 12 volt battery?
The bulb with the lowest resistance. Current = Volts / Resistance
Does amperage and a voltage mean the same thing?
No, amperage and voltage are not the same. Voltage refers to the electrical potential difference between two points, measured in volts, while amperage (current) is the flow of electric charge, measured in amperes. They are both important components in understanding and working with electrical circuits.
When connected to a 110-volt power supply how much current does a light bulb draw when it has a resistance of 220-ohms?
The formulas you are looking for is I = E/R.
How you check amp draw on compressor?
Divide the power rating (in watts) by the voltage (in volts). So if you use a 100 watt light bulb in a typical 110 volt lamp then it will draw 100/110 = .91 amps of current. Or plug a 1500 watt electric heater into a 110 volt wall socket and it will draw 1500/110 = 13.6 amps of current.
Why a bulb of 60 watt glow in 220 volt of ac?
the 220 volt bulp in 220 volt ac current
How many amps does a 5 watt 12 volt bulb draw?
1/2 amp.
Can you use a 120 volt halogen bulb in place of a 110 volt halogen bulb?
Yes, the two voltages are in the same range category.
How many amps does a 120 volt AC 8 watt led bulb draw?
It is drawing .06 amps.
What gives the biggest resistance 3 volt bulb or 6 volt bulb?
3 volt bulb gives the biggest resistance
Can you use a 120 volt bulb in a 130 volt socket?
Can you use a 120 volt bulb in a 130 volt socket?
How do you know whether to get 120 volt or 130 volt light bulb?
If you want your bulbs to last longer then use 130 volt bulb on a 120 volt system. The light emitted by a 130 volt bulb, when comparing it to a 120 volt bulb, will be a bit dimmer.
How many amps does a led light draw?
Depends on the size of the LED light and the voltage applied. An example is an LED 24 volt globe light that pulls 8 watts which draw 0.333333 amps. Take an LED 120 volt light bulb draws 12 watts and will pull 0.1 amps. The same bulb at 240 volts wil draw 0.05 amps. it really depends on the watts and voltage applied. An average would be about 0.1 amps.
