None. Watts refers to how much electricity is being drawn from that 120v line. Think of volts as a size of pipe, watts as the size of a pitcher you are going to fill with water. If the faucet is off, the pipe still contains water...but you aren't using it till you fill up your pitcher. The other part of the equation is ampres...which could translate into the time it takes to fill the pitcher. Bigger pipe(larger voltage) takes less time (lower ampres) to fill the same pitcher (watts).

There are zero watts in 120 volts. Watts are the product of amperage times volts. The equation to use is W = Amps x Volts. When you decide what the circuit amperage is, multiply it by 120 volts. The frequency is irrelevant.

There are zero amps in 120 watts. W = A x V. To answer this question the voltage must be stated.

A 120 v supply can be used to supply as many watts as you like but most 120 v supplies are used for appliances of 1500 watts and under.

How many amps are in 87 watts?

On a 120 v supply 87 watts is 87/120 amps, while on a 240 v supply 87 watts is 87/240 amps. <<>> There are zero amps in 87 watts. Watts are the product of amps times volts. Without a voltage value for the following equation I = W/E, Amps = Watts/Volts, an answer can not be given.


Can you run one 1500 watt heater on a 125V- 15A 60Hz power strip?

Yes, a 1500 watt heater operating on 120 volts has an amperage of A = W/V. Amps = Watts/Volts = 1500/120 = 12.5 amps. It is not a recommended practice to do so.


16amps how many watts is it?

There is missing the value of the voltage. We asume V = 120 volts. Powerage = Voltage times current Power = 120 volts times 16 amps = 1920 watts.


How many hz is 1500 watts and 120 volts?

It could be anything from zero to infinity because Hertz are not proportional to either watts or volts. But 120 v supplies are common in America, where the frequency happens to be 60 Hz.

How many amps does one light use?

You just have to divide the watts by the voltage to find the amps. For example 60 watts on a 120 v system would take ½ amp.
