Power equals volts times amperes. So you have to look at your fuse, e.g. 30 amps and calculate: 120 volts times 30 amps equals 3600 watts. Scroll down to related links and look at "Calculator"
Watts = Volts x Amps Hence if the outlet was protected by a 15 Amp breaker then the theoretical maximum watts would be 1800 watts or 1.8 KW. However, it is recommended that load doesn't exceed 80% of capacity, so the answer for a 15 Amp service is 1.44 KW. If it is a 20 A circuit you can now do the math.
Multiply its power, in kilowatts, (i.e. 120/1000) by the length of time it is in use, in hours. This will tell you how much energy it has used, in kilowatt hours.
You only have half the data to go on. Watts is a total power consumption. It's a fomula that needs voltage and amperage to be determined.
On a 12-volt system, ten amps. On a 120-volt system, one amp. On a 240-volt system, half an amp. You just multiply the volts by the amps to find the watts, for a simple thing like a bulb.

Sir, i will not go by watts because it can take many hundreds of watts per outlet but it also depend on the size of the wire in the outlet the bigger the number the more watts.
A load of 1600 watts should be placed on a 20 amp 120 volt GFCI outlet.
If it does not come with a plug on it, no. If it is made for direct wire, then 99.9% chance is that it is a 240 volt unit. If you plug it into a 120 volt outlet your water will barely get warm.
A 30 amp circuit on a 250 volt service could handle up to 7500 watts. That's if it's actually 250 volts coming in. You should check that with your meter.
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hertz supply service.Need to know the voltage of the outlet plug. On a 120 volts outlet there is one hot terminal and on a 240 volt outlet there are two hot terminals.

The bulb will be about half as bright.

No, it will cause the bulb to blow. A 12 volt light is DC voltage and your home outlet is AC voltage.
