Best Answer

Watts = Amps x Volts x Power Factor

For a motor the Power Factor is less than 1 and might typically be about .75. For a resistive load like a toaster PF = 1.

If you know the Voltage and PF and know the wattage you can calculate amps.

Amps = Watts / (Volts x PF)

How many amps are in 2000 watts?

To obtain the amperage from 2000 watts the voltage is needed. I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts.


I have 3200 watt sub woofers what amplifier should I get with how many watts output?

What's a subs? If you are consuming 3200 watts your amps at 120 volts will be 26.6, at 240 volts it will be 13.3. However I suspect I am missing some information.


11.6 amps equals how many watts?

11.6 amps equals zero watts. Watts is the product of amps times volts. W = A x V. As you can see voltage is needed to obtain the wattage of a device.


How many volts are 200 watts?

Zero. Watts is the product of Amps x Volts. As you can see an amperage value is needed. Voltage = Watts/Amps. Volts = 200/? 20 volts
