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?
Need to know what type of furnace, electric, gas, or oil before question can be answered.
Why does the fan on electric heating run non stop and doesn't heat the house?
It does heat the house slightly. The heating is equal to the number of Watts of the fan. Why does the fan run all the time even when to heating is on? Because it is a silly design or the activation switch is stuck on.
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.

About 3,731 watts.
How many watts need to run pellets stove?
Of course, this will vary with the manufacturer(s). A typical small pellet stove with a combustion fan and a circulation fan will need 500 watts or more to start. After is it started, it will typically take around 150 watts to run.
How many 12volt are needed to run 1500 watts?
2, but just barely. 1 would run about 1100 watts.
How many watts does it take to run a heat mat?
I don't know what exactly you mean by a "heat mat", but your question is kind of backwards. You don't run an electrical device *with* watts. You run them to *produce* watts (watts of light, watts of heat, watts of sound, etc). I believe the thing you are really asking is how many amps are required to run your device. As an example, consider a "1500 Watt heater" that is made to be plugged into a typical wall outlet in your home. The voltage in the wall is 120V, and the heater will produce 1500 watts of heat when plugged into that 120V. To calculate the amps, you divide the watts by the voltage. 1500W / 120V = 12.5A
How many watts can run through wire?
1,200
How many kilowatts does it take to run a TV?
Depending on the size of the TV, somewhere between 0.3 and 0.7 KW. The nameplate of the TV usually lists the watts, divide watts by 1000 to get KW.
