How many amps are needed for a freezer?
You need to look at the rating plate on the freezer. My Kenmore upright freezer draws 5.0 A. Look for a number followed by the word amps or something like 5.0 A.
What is the average wattage a freezer uses?
Voltage X amps = wats 120 volt freezer drawing 2 amps is 240 watts running note it can take up to 3 to 4 times that to start. you have rla run load amps then you have LRA Lock rotor amps (what it takes to start)
How much does a basic home freezer pull in amps?
10 to 12 amps at 110 volts, as a surge when the motor first starts up, then about half that during the rest of the cycle.
How many amps does a Kenmore chest freezer pull?
How many amps really depends on the size of freezer...but, normally during the START cycle (that lasts about 10-seconds, from the time the compressor kicks on, until it gets going), the surge of START can take 10-12 amps, though most freezers can comfortably start in a 68-degree F room at about 8-amps. Once the compressor is running, it takes 2-3 amps to keep the compressor running. When the compressor kicks off (standard cycle is about 80% off, 20% on for a new freezer), then it draws NO POWER at all, unless it has a heated lid-seal, and then it will draw about 1-amp...possibly on a timer cycle (<100-watts). Keep in mind...that <600 Kw/h rating for the energy star is based off of a MOSTLY-OFF cycle time...if that compressor has to run a lot (because you placed it on your back deck, or in your HOT garage) then you can expect power consumptions to double, triple, etc.!
How many watts does a ge fcm7suww 7 cubic foot freezer use?
The specification plate on that GE model freezer says 120 Volts at 1.7 Amps running. So 120V x 1.7A = 204 Watts running. But remember, electrical motors typlically draw about three times the running current when they first start and spin up to speed. So the starting current would be about 1.7A x 3 ~ 5.1 Amps when starting. This is important if you have fuses - be sure to use a Slow-Blow fuse (10 or 15 Amp). If you have circuit breakers then a 15 Amp breaker should be fine. And if you need and extension cord be sure to use one reated at least 15 Amps. - The VillageElder
Does 1000 amps generator can run chest freezers?
Just wondering what you mean... Perhaps you meant a 1,000 WATT generator, in which case the answer would probably be "No". That's not enough capacity to run most freezers at start-up. If you actually did mean a 1,000 AMP generator, you would need to specify the voltage and amps or the watts of the generator and current draw of the freezer in question before anyone could answer your question. Since most home chest-type freezers operate on 115 VAC, that would mean that if your 1,000 AMP generator produced 115 volts, it would need to have a capacity of 11,500 watts. That's a pretty big home generator. You'll need to research the start-up requirements of your freezer and both the peak and continuous load capacity of the generator.
How many amps are in 40 volt amps?
Multiply the vots by the amps to find the volt-amps. Or divide the volt-amps by the voltage to find the amps.
What does 0.35897amps equals to in amps?
0.35897 amps = 0.35897 amps.
200ma in amps?
200ma is .200 amps or .2 amps
480v 130kw how many amps?
Amps = Watts / Volts Amps = 130000 / 480 Amps = 270.83
How many watts or amps does a 1.7 cubic refrigerator use?
Kitchen refrigerators use 50-100 watts for about five minutes per hour, so 10 watts or less on average.
What is the difference between 5 amps and 12 amps?
7 amps
