Best Answer

The current (ampere) changes from a high value at switch on to a run current of of approx 0.5 amperes. The fuse blows at switch on if too many lamps are connected. It also depends on the cable used to wire up the lamps and the length of the cable.

At house voltage of 120 volts, you should be able to put 5 100Watt bulbs on this circuit (in parallel). Maximum power to blow the fuse is 5*120 volts = 600 watts.

How is Ampere-hour calculated if four 65 Ah batteries in series for UPS?

The ampere-hour rating of series connected batteries is the same as that for one battery, so the ampere-hour rating of four 65 Ah batteries in series is still 65 Ah. The reason for this is Kirchoff's current law - the signed sum of the currents entering a node is zero - or - the current at every point in a series circuit is the same.
