Just take the voltage and multiply it by the amps. That should give you a close approximation of the watts used. For instance, 117 volts at 4.5 amps = 5265 watts.

How many watts can a 6-piston car engine make?

How big around are the pistons? What's the stroke of the engine? How fast is the engine going to be run? All of these things (and more) will determine an engine's horsepower rating. That rating can then be converted into watts.


How many watts to run a furnace?

The power needed to run a furnace can vary depending on the size and type of the furnace. However, a typical residential furnace may require anywhere from 500 to 5000 watts to operate. It's best to consult the manufacturer's specifications or a professional to determine the exact wattage requirement for your specific furnace.


How many batteries required to run 2 ton ac through ups?

No way to give you a simple answer- will depend on the storage capacity of the batteries, and the efficency of the inverter in the UPS unit, and the efficency of the AC unit. That is a 24,000 BTU air conditioner, with a large current draw- typically 3200-3500 watts. It will also depend on how LONG you will want to run the AC system on battery- it is not for an indefinite time.


Two measuremnets to rate capacity of UPS?

1) Rated Protection of the UPS 2) Run Time. Rated protection is usually in KVA or VA (KilliVolt amps for very large UPS or Volt Amps for smaller UPS). This is because UPS typically have multiple outputs like 120V 240V and possibly 12VDC. Some only list WATTS. This assumes the UPS will have only one Voltage output so the Volts X Amps=Watts was already calculated. There is also something called a "Power Factor" that comes in to play. For computers it is ~60% which means if you are backing up a PC it will take more power than you think or the UPS will run for less time than you think because of the power factor. Runtime is usually presented in a chart since it will vary based on the load it is supporting. A battery has a rated Amp/Hour capacity. Amps per hour. You use a fraction of this over time until there is no more energy. Using Ohms Law you can determine the Amps from Watts or KVA/VA. P=IxE or Power ( watts) = Current( amps) x Electrical energy ( Volts) So I (amps) = P(watts) / E ( volts) . There are other factors like the battery charge level, ambient temperature and losses in cabling etc, that affect the run time in amp hours.
