How do you hook up a 120V fan drawing 0.4 amps to a 110V circuit?

Try to be a little more specific and I'll try and help. Are you wanting to add a plug on it, or hard wire it. And what is the fans location or type of fan I guess.

How many amps does 230 watts equal is you are using 120V ac circuit?
1.9 amps
How many amps would a 150 watt bulb draw in a 120v circuit?
1 amp
How many watts in a 115 volt refrigerator?
How many Amps is the fridge pulling? Multiply the Amps by the 120V circuit you're plugging into and you'll get your Watts.
What is difference between 2000W and 1500W and how to find out how much powerelectricity each consumes?
To find the power will depend on the voltage the item uses. Assuming a 120 volt circuit divide the wattage by the voltage, this gives the amps used. 2000w / 120v = 16.67 amps. 1500w/ 120v = 12.5 amps used.
What is the power developed in a purely resistive circuit with 15volts rms applied and drawing 10 amps?
(15 volts) x (10 Amps) = 150 watts
Why does a 15 amp breaker trip while a small appliance is on?
The total amps on the circuit exceeds 15 amps. It is possible your appliance is drawing more than 15 amps, but more likely that there are other things on the circuit causing the total current to be exceeded.
Can you have a 120v circuit on a 30 amp breaker?
Yes you can, However the wire leading out from the breaker must be rated for 30 or more amps, otherwise there is a fire hazard.
What is the max wattage for a 120V outlet?
Power [Watts] = Voltage [Volts] * Current [Amps] These equations assume purely resistive loads, all in the ideal format, anything other than ideal will vary based on your homes wiring, the types of breakers that you use, the type of device [load] that you put on the circuit, etc. For a 20A Circuit: 120V (RMS) * 20A = 2400W (Keep in mind that this is an ideal case) For a 15A Circuit: 120V (RMS) * 15A = 1800W (Keep in mind that this is an ideal case)
How much resistance should be on a 5.0 kw heat strip?
Depends on the voltage. Wattage is Volts x Amps. Resistance (ohms) is Volts divided by Amps. So on a 120V circuit, it would draw 41.66 amps. To do that, it would need a resistance of 2.88 ohms. But on a 240V circuit, it would draw 20.83 amps. That would require a resistance of 11.52 ohms. Determine the circuit voltage, then use that to figure the amps, then use that result to calculate the resistance necessary.
How many watts does a vacuum use?
On average most normal size vacuums draw 10 amps which comes to 1200 watts on a standard 120 volt vacuum.
Can you plug a 120V amplifier into a regular socket in a household?
No, you can not plug a 240 volt amplifier into a 120 volt outlet. That said there are a number of step-up transformers available that will convert 110V to 220V - that's the simplest way to do it. You should make sure the transformer is rated at many times the power of your amplifier, because of inefficiencies in the amplifier. Look on your amplifier to see how many amps it uses at 220V. Double that number for going to 110 and add 20% more amps as a conversion margin. Take that number and multiply it by 110 to get the watts you need to supply. Size the transformer accordingly. eg. 5 amps @ 220V 5 amps * 2 = 10 amps 10*20% = 2 amps Total amps = 12 amps 12 amps*110 = 1320 watts In this example a transformer rated at or above the calculated wattage is recommended.
What is the power consumtion of a light bulb that is plugged into a 110v outlet and is drawing 0.727 amp or current?
Power is calculated from volts time amps. 110V x 0.727A is 79.97 watts. Note that power is not "consumed" but rather converted to other forms of energy such as light and heat.
