How many 500 watt flood lights can you put on a 13 amp plug?

I have never heard of a 13 amp plug. However, each flood light would draw about 4 amps since you calculate amps by watts / volts. You just add amps to determine total load.


How many watts does a 230 liter refrigerator use?

Look at the back of your fridge and find the plate that tells you how many amps it needs. Once you have Amps you multiply that number by the Volts coming out of your plug (usually 120v) and you will get Watts. So once more: Amps x Volts = Watts


Can you change an European 15 amp plug to 10amp plug?

What is the Process of Wiring If the device draws 15 amps (I thought Euro plugs were 16 amps or 6 amps, but no matter), you should not attempt to run it on a 10 amp supply. If the device needs less than 10 amps you could change the plug. Do please check that the smaller plug is 10 amps, not 6 amps. If you are trying to run a European device in the USA, the VOLTAGE is different (230 in Europe, 110 in USA) so the device won't run well. Don't even think of using an American device in Europe - there will be a big, expensive bang! (I know, I have seen the result).


How big of a load does a 30 amp plug handle on a 40 amp circuit?

If the overcurrent protection device is 40 Amps, then a 30-Amp plug can overheat and catch fire at 40 Amps before the circuit-breaker blows.


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.

Can you plug a microwave that draws 12.5 amps at 120 volts 60 hz into a regular home outlet?

I'm not sure what "regular home outlet" means to you. In the US, the plug for a device drawing less than 15 amps should physically fit in a "regular home outlet" as I understand the term. However, the outlet would need to be on a circuit that's rated for at least that amount of current, and the total load on the circuit should never exceed its rating. At 15 amps, the plug is supposed to be modified so that the blades are perpendicular instead of parallel, and outlets designed for such devices are built to accomodate either perpendicular or parallel blades. These are usually called "20 amp outlets" colloquially, and are NOT the same as 240V outlets, which are also usually capable of handling higher current draws that "regular home outlets" are.

Does a microwave have an electric motor?

no because then if it did you wouldn't have to plug it in.


Can a 1580 watt microwave be connected to a 15 amp circuit?

Yes, if the manufacturer installed a parallel blade 15 amp rating cap on the end of the cord then just plug it in. The circuit that you plug into should be a dedicated circuit (nothing else on the circuit) because the amperage will be 13 amps at 120 volts.
