Best Answer

The temperature can not be calculated by the wattage of the hair dryer. There are other variables such as blower size and velocity speed of the air, size of the opening where the air comes out.

A 1500 watt element produces 5121 BTU's / hour. BTU's can not be directly converted to temperatures as they are unrelated values.

How many amps does a hair dryer use with 25 volts 60 hz and 1500 watts?

Amps = Watts / (Volts x Power Factor). Now a hair dryer has a motor and a resistive heater so if we assume a PF = .8 the answer is: 1500 / 20 = 75 amps. Since it is unlikely that you have a 75 amp hair dryer you must mean 125 volts. The answer for that would be 1500 / 100 = 15 amps which is still high, but believable. If we assume a Power Factor of 1 and ignore the motor contribution to Power Factor we have 1500 / 125 = 12 amps.


How many watts does a hair-dryer use?

It depends on the model, if the hair dryer is a 1500 watt hair dryer, then it uses 1500 watts on high heat. If the hair dryer is a 2000 watt hair dryer, then it uses 2000 watts on high heat. Hair dryers come in all different size wattage, so it depends on the size wattage of the dryer. Most hair dryers are 1500 watts.

Which circuit breaker used for an electric clothes dryer?

To ensure you are using the correct rating of fuse simply divide the total wattage of your appliance by 250 and round up to the closest value. For example, a 1500 watt hair dryer should be fitted with a fuse equal to 1500 divided by 250 = 7amp


What is the current in the hair dryer if it is plugged into a 110- V outlet?

Without knowing the wattage that the hair dryer is rated at an amperage can not be stated. If you find the wattage, use this equation to find the amperage. I = W/E, Amps = Watts/Volts.
