Is one electric dryer "greener" than another?

Yes, there are many "green" dryers on the market and some are better than others depending on how good the technology is. It depends on several factors: dry time, watts, and amps. Here's a list of hand dryers from "greenest" descending as per the manufacturer specs and a 120 V model: Mitsubishi Jet Towel (lowest settings): 12 seconds, 450 watts, 9.8 amps American Dryer eXt: 12 seconds, 540 watts, 4.5 amps Mitsubishi Jet Towel (highest settings): 10 seconds, 1060 watts, 9.8 amps American Dryer gXt: 10 seconds, 1500 watts, 12.5 amps Dyson Airblade: 10 seconds, 1400 watts, 12 amps Xlerator: 10 seconds, 1500 watts, 12.5 amps I guess you could also look at how many watts it takes to dry a pair of hands in 10 seconds as well, but it looks like Mitsubishi and American Dryer make the greenest hand dryers.

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.

Which household applaince use more power?

You can look at the rating plate on each appliance and see how many watts it is. So for example a 1500 w hair dryer, or an 1100 w microwave oven. A stove and an electric clothes dryer use more than that (but I have gas for those appliances, so I cannot look). A refrigerator would use a lot too, but I cannot see the plate on that one either. If it does not list watts but lists amps, then: Volts * Amps = Watts. Note that the 'big' appliances like the stove and clothes dryer are usually 240 volts, not 120 V.


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


In your home your stove and your electric clotes dryer usually run on how many volts?

Usually 220 to 240 VAC.
