The question is not relevant.

240 volts refers to the "potential", and amps refers to the current.

Potential * current = watts, or energy.

You can have 240 volts at 1 amp, which will result in 240 watts, or you can have 240 amps at 1 volt which would also result in 240 watts.

How many amperes use an electric heater?

The electric heater will have power rated in Watts. The Amps it will draw depends on the voltage system you are using. Can be calculated by formula I (Amps) = P / V In the USA with 110V system a 2400W heater will draw 2400 Watts / 110 Volts = 21.8 Amps In Australia with a 230 V system a 2400W heater will draw 2400 Watts / 230 Volts = 10.4 Amps


How many amps are required to run a 240-volt 5500-watt water heater element?

Current (Amps) = Power (Watt)/Voltage (V) Therefore a 4500W heating element will draw 18.75A = 4500W/240V


How many amps will an electric heater use if 440 volts are applied to it and the resistance is measured at 80ohms?

The formula you are looking for is I = E/R. Amps = Volts/Resistance.


How many amps do electric water heaters use?

A typical domestic water heater uses 3 kW. On a European 230 v system it would use 13 amps.

600 watts requires how many amps?

It depends on the voltage source. watts = voltage * voltage / resistance and amps = voltage / resistance example 1: To produce 600W from a 120V source, you need a resistor of size 120V*120V/600W = 24 Ohm. This would pull 120V/24 Ohm = 5 amps. example 2: To produce 600W from a 240V source, you need a resistor of size 240V*240V/600W = 96 Ohm. This would pull 240V/96 Ohm = 2.5 amps.


How many amps do you need if you have a 480 volt space heater?

The heater should have a wattage rating (very few list amps). Calculate the amps using the wattage and voltage. Amps = Watts/Volts(480).


1kw light bulb how many amps do you need if the voltage is 240v?

The basic formula for the Voltage, Current, Power relationship is P=I*E. To find one when the other two are known, simply fill in the two you know and solve. In this case P=1000W and Voltage = 240V (It is important that you pay attention to the unit definer here, if it were 240 mV, you would have Voltage = .240V and so on). 1000W = I * 240V I = 1000W/240V I = 4.17A


How many amps will a 10 kw electric heater operating at 480 volts?

Volts times amps equals watts, so the question is - what times 480 makes 10,000, and the answer is 10,000 divided by 480. That is 10,000 divided by 500 and then increased by 4% which is 20.8 amps.
