How many amps does a 50 gallon water heater with 2-4500 watt elements draw?
30
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.
What is the number of AMPS for a 240V 2400 watt water heater?
Watts = Amps x Volts for a resistive load like a water heater.
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
What is least expensive to run a heater with 750 watts and 7.1 amps or 600 watts and 12.5 amps?
The heater with 750 watts and 7.1 amps is less expensive to run. This is because it has a lower amperage, meaning it requires less electric current to operate. The 600-watt heater with 12.5 amps requires a higher electric current, which could translate to higher electricity costs.

What would full load amps be on a 480volt 3 phase 90 kw electric heater be pulling 36 amps per leg?
46 amps
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 to run a oil fired hot water heater?
None.
You are having to reset your electric water heater breaker daily?
Likely one of the two electric elements is going out which creates very high resistance in the circuit and therefore draws very high current (amps) and causes the breaker to trip.
Watts vs amps?
Watts= rate of using energy Amps= current flow Think of it as a bucket of water with a hole in it. Watts is the amount of water leaking from the bucket (1 gallon) Amps is the size of the hole ( it took 3 minutes for that 1 gallon to leak out of the bucket)
How many watts or amps draw on a GE water heater model se50m12aa01?
The GE water heater SE50M12AA01 is a 5500 watts or 5.5 Kilowatts water tank. The amperage on such a tank is I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts. Since most hot water tanks in North America use a voltage of 240, the amps will be 22.9 amps. It must be fed with a #10 conductor from a 30 amp breaker.
What would full load amps be on a 480volt 90 kw electric heater be pulling 36 amps per leg?
90 kW on 480 volts single phase would be 187.5 amps. On 480 v 3-phase it would be 108 amps.
