Best Answer

It would be pretty much undefined, since the filament of the halogen bulb would fail immediately then there would be an open circuit with no current draw.

<<>>

The formula for current is Amps = Watts/Volts. The lamp itself would draw 4.16 amps. Since the voltage of the lamp is 12 volts there is a internal transformer involved in the fixture itself. It doesn't matter what the input (primary) voltage to the transformer is, so long as it meets the manufacturer's specification as to the proper voltage to operate the fixture.

How can calculate amps for 12v 50w halogen lamp?

How many amps does 500 watt halogen pull?

At 120 volts it will pull 4.166 amps. At 240 volts it will pull 2.08 amps.


How do you calculate multiplying factor from ct ratio?

The CT standard output is 5 amps at the rated input amps. The CT will have a marking like 400:5, 100:5, or similar, where the bigger number is the input current that will cause 5 amps to flow in the CT secondary. Divide the span by 5 to get the multiplier. For instance: CT - 400:5 400 / 5 = 80 So, if you measure, say, 3 amps from the CT, the primary current is: 3 * 80 = 240 A


What fuse do you need to run a 200 watt bulb with 230V?

The formula you are looking for is Amps = Watts divided by Volts. Once you find the amperage you can decide as to the size of a fuse you should use. Remember that fusing protects the conductors of the circuit and not the load of the circuit. A #14 wire is rated at 15 amps and can legally be loaded only to 12 amps.


What size fuse should be used for 2 amp power supply?

If the 2 amps is the output amperage of the power supply, the maximum that should be drawn from the unit is 2 amps. The load amperage that is connected to the power supply should govern the amperage of the fuse used. There is not much range there, the fusing could go from .25 to 2 amps. If the input amperage is 2 amps then the input and output voltage of the power supply should be stated.

How many amps in 6 kw?

UK Mains is 230V therefore 6 KW is 6000/230 = 26 Amps. 3 phase is slightly different....... 6000/400V = 15 Amps/root 3 = 8.67 Amps per phase.
