Best Answer

To calculate the amperage of an appliance use the following equation, I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts. In North America the home voltage for larger appliances is 240 volts. Somewhere in the oven there will be a name plate. on it will give you the wattage of the device. Divide the voltage of 240 volts into this wattage value and you will end up with the amperage that the oven requires to operate.

Wire size for an electric range?

Wire size is based of the amperage of the device. To answer this question the amperage is needed or the wattage and voltage of the device.


Is 60 amp breaker good for 225 stick welder?

The 225 amps is the secondary output amperage. Look on the machines nameplate to find the input amperage. It is that amperage that is needed to size the feed wire and there the breaker size. When you find that amperage you may want to re question the breaker size.


What is the current in the hair dryer if it is plugged into a 110- V outlet?

Without knowing the wattage that the hair dryer is rated at an amperage can not be stated. If you find the wattage, use this equation to find the amperage. I = W/E, Amps = Watts/Volts.


What size breaker do you need for a well pump?

A breaker is based on the amperage that is drawn by the pump motor load. Find the full load amperage of the motor. The wire fed from the breaker has to be rated at 125% of the motors full load amperage. The breaker for motors have to be over sized, usually 250% of the motors full load amps.


If my AC technician says my unit is rated at 28.9 amps and drawing 24.8 and should draw about half of rated capacity and that compressor needs to be replaced Is this correct?

There are several amperage ratings on AC compressors/motors. Locked Motor Amperage (LRA) is the amperage that the motor is fused for. The load of the motor is expressed in amperage or wattage, which is probably the case here. Low amperage readings on an AC unit being charged by amperage load would indicate low freon. High amperage readings indicate overcharge when charging by the amperage load. AC units are not accurately charged by amperage readings and the efficiency of motors is not expressed in amperage readings.

What size breaker do you need for 5.7kw neff oven?

A breaker is sized by the wire size. The wire is sized by the amperage. The formula for amperage is I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts. As you can see with no voltage stated an answer can not be given.


What amp wire should you use for 3000w lights?

Wire size is based on the amperage drawn. To find the amperage, the voltage must be stated. Use this formula to find the amperage. I = W/E. Amps = Watts/ Volts. Once you have the amperage, restate your question using the new found amperage or state the voltage that supplies the lights.

What size wire for 55kw?

Wire is sized by the amperage that it will carry. 5 kW is 5000 watts. The equation to find watts is W = Amps x Volts. The equation to find amps is Amps = Watts/Volts. As you can see a voltage is needed to calculate the amperage. Once the amperage is stated, the wire size can be given for that particular amperage.
