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.
How do you draw a water tank?
Make a rectangle.
Your water heater has two 4500 watt elements what size wire should you use?
Amps = Watts/Voltage. 4500/240 = 18 amps. You would use a #12 copper wire which is rated at 20 amps. On a hot water tank there is only one of the elements on at a time. The incoming cold water is taken to the bottom of the tank through a pipe inside the tank. When the lower thermostat senses the cold water the lower element turns on. As you draw hot water from the top of the tank the cooler water from the bottom will rise. When the top thermostat senses the cool water it shuts off the bottom element and turns on the top element. When this water is heated to the tank set- point it shuts off and the lower element turns on to heat the rest of the water. When the total tank temperature is at the set point all elements turn off. By using this type of procedure there is always hot water at the top of the tank for use.
How many amps does a 208 volt 3 phase 45 kw hot water heater draw?
45000 / 208 /sqrt(3) = 125A per phase this is probably called a boiler unless it has a 2000Gallon tank
What wire for a hot water tank?
In North America the cable used for wiring a hot water tank is two conductor #12. It is rated at 20 amps. This is for a normal 4000 watt tank. Larger wattage tanks will of course take a larger size conductor due to the greater current draw. These tanks require a 240 volt supply. To find the amperage of your tank use this equation; Amps = Watts/volts
How is an electric water heater wired?

By using this type of procedure there is always hot water at the top of the tank for use.Actually, not all of this first answer is correct! A 4500 watt heater will draw around 18.75 amps. However, electric water heaters are considered "continuous loads". This means you can't load it's circuit more than 80%. So a 4500 watt heater circuit must be "sized up" to either a 25 amp or 30 amp circuit. This means that #10 copper wire will also be used. Now, a 3800 watt heater will draw around 15.8 amps. In this case, a 20 amp breaker and #12 copper wire can be used. Always check the heater's nameplate to be certain of it's ratings. The calculation used is correct.
Does both elements on an electric water heater operate at the same time?

A 208V water heater can te be replaced by a 240V water heater?
Yes but you will not get the full watt rating out of the tank. Watts = amps x volts. Say the tank draws 20 amps. 20A x 240V = 4800 watts. 20A x 208V = 4160 watts. It will take longer to heat your water with less wattage.
How many volts is 136 amps?
Volts and Amps are measurements of different things. Volts can be viewed as similar to pressure in water, where Amps can be equated to the volume of water that flows in a hose. So a battery with a circuit connected can be considered in terms of a water tank with a hose attached. The Tank provides potential energy as water pressure (Volts in the battery), the hose in the circuit which will allow current to flow when switched on (Current in Amps in an electric circuit. The size of the hose (Resistance in an electric circuit) as well as the water pressure will determine how much water will flow, (Current). So you can have Voltage with no current - Full water tank but taps closed, but you can't have current with out voltage - If the tank is empty (battery flat) no water can flow. The relationship between Volts (V), Amps (I) and Resistance (R) is called Ohms Law and is as follows: V = I x R So if in the circuit the resistance was 1 Ohm then 136 Amps would require a voltage source of 136 x 1 = 136 Volts, however if the resistance of the circuit was 10 Ohms the the voltage source would be 136 x 10 = 1,360 Volts.
What ampts on the breaker do you needfor a 4500 watt hot water tank?
Assuming this is standard house voltage of 120 VAC your 4500 Watt heater will draw about 37.5 amps. You would normally install a 50A breaker and would have to run 8 gauge wire.
How many amps is in 19.2 volts?
Amps vary depending on mode of use. Usually 19 Volt batteries usually have a 2 ampere hour capacity. If you fully charged the battery and connected it to drill and started a timer when you turned it on at full power; you could measure the time to fully discharge. If it ran for 1 hour you would be pulling two amps. On the other hand if you shorted out the battery it would draw many more amps and die quite quickly.
