Electric furnaces are rated in Kilowatts. The following formula will let you figure it out. Watts = amps x volts. For eg. a 10 Kw furnace draws 10000 watts. amps = watts/volts. 10000/240 = 41.6 amps. If your furnace differs from this example, just plug in your wattage and you will have your answer.
