It is rated at 20 amps. Code states that conductors should only be loaded to 80% so continuous load will be 20 x .8 = 16amps

Generally 40 amps continuous or 50 amps surge is safe.
For a 20 amp circuit, 12-gauge Romex should be used.
Amount of electric current flowing through the vacuum. Watts: Amps multiplied by the power voltage drawn. Most upright cleaners are 7 to 12 amps. Many canister models are 12 amps. The maximum allowable amps that can be plugged into a household outlet is 12 amps.
160 amps at 12v.
160 amps at 12v.
Aprox 12 amps.
250 watts divided by 12 volts = amps or around 20 amps
15 amps at 80% = 12 amps continuous. Watts = Amps x Volts.
In normal residential use it is 20 Amps. That depends on alot of things such as the wire insulation, ambient temperature, etc. Standard NM 12/2 (Romex or equivalent, which is likely what you are asking as it is the primary type used to wire residential) is rated for 20 amps, 14 gauge is 15 amps, 10 gauge is 30 amps.
Ohm's law: Volts = Amps * Ohms, or Amps = Volts / Ohms 12 volts / 0.5 ohms = 24 amps
55/12=4.6
