Check the nameplate rating on the door or door frame of your washer, it should tell you the amp rating or the kw rating of the machine. If it only has the KW rating of the machine, simply divide the KW rating by the voltage of the receptacle and it'll give you the current (ampere) rating. Typically, a modern washing machine will draw approximately 7-12 amps. However, anticipate a higher amperage when starting the machine as the machine will draw 1.5X the rated current to start the machine (starting current). Regardless of the amp rating, the NFPA-70 (National Electrical Code) requiresa 20 Amp fuse or circuit breaker; and the circuit for the washing machine must be on its own, dedicated circuit.

Why must use 5A fuse when maximum current is 4.33A?
Generally speaking, you need to account for any variance in electrical output. There are a lot of factors that can cause a fluctuation in electrical amperage. You wouldn't want to set the fuse too low or it would blow needlessly, but you also don't want to set the fuse too high, or a dangerous short will not be interrupted. A power source/device can produce/draw more amperage while damaged than in normal operation. A 4.33 amp device might not run at 5 amp while working, but while damaged could exceed that dramatically. When looking at the reason for having a fuse, it provides two things: 1) help protect a working device from having too much amperage forced into it from a damaged power source 2) help protect the power source from having too much amperage draw from it by a damaged device.
What size fuse should be used for 2 amp power supply?
If the 2 amps is the output amperage of the power supply, the maximum that should be drawn from the unit is 2 amps. The load amperage that is connected to the power supply should govern the amperage of the fuse used. There is not much range there, the fusing could go from .25 to 2 amps. If the input amperage is 2 amps then the input and output voltage of the power supply should be stated.
How much sq mm wire required for 10 hp motor?
To answer this question an amperage has to be supplied. Wire size is based on the capacity of amperage it can legally conduct. This regulation is laid out in the electrical code book. To get installations passed by the electrical inspector these rules have to be followed.
What is Overload Solid State relay?
a relay that detects the amperage the motor is drawing when the motor dwaws too much to drops out the coil voltage to shut down motor and prevent damage
How much does a shunt trip breaker cost?
The cost of a shunt trip breaker depends on the amperage and number of poles the circuit connected to it needs. The cost of the shunt trip over a conventional breaker is substantially more.
How much amperage a hair dryer draw?
A typical hair dryer draws around 10-15 amps when operating at its highest setting. It is important to check the specific amperage rating of the hair dryer you are using to ensure it is compatible with the electrical circuit you are using.
A clothes dryer uses 5500 w of power when connected to a 220-v ac line how much current does the dryer draw from the line?
5500Watts/220V=25 Amps
How much electricity used by a seed dryer?
A voltage and amperage need to be stated to answer this question.
Why do clothes shed so much lint in the dryer?
Clothes shed so much when you put them in the dryer because the dryer is extremely hot and because they were just wet from the washer and you place them in the dryer the heat drys all the wetness which can over dry the clothes and they can shrink
How much energy does a clothes dryer?
3000 watts
What causes static in the clothes dryer?
Static in a clothes dryer is typically caused by the friction between clothes rubbing against each other and the dryer drum. The accumulation of static electricity can be exacerbated by over-drying, using too much detergent, or drying synthetic fabrics. Using dryer sheets or dryer balls can help reduce static in the dryer.
How much does a clothes dryer weigh?
The clothes dryer, a common household appliance, generally weights in the 100 pound to 150 pound range depending on the make and model.
How much power does a clothes dryer use and how can I reduce its energy consumption?
A clothes dryer typically uses around 1,500 to 5,000 watts of power. To reduce its energy consumption, you can air dry clothes outside, use dryer balls to reduce drying time, clean the lint trap regularly, and ensure the dryer is properly vented.
How much does air drying clothes save compared to drying them using a dryer?
Air drying clothes can save approximately $0.50 to $1.00 per load compared to using a dryer. This savings can vary depending on the energy efficiency of the dryer and the local cost of electricity. Over time, air drying clothes can lead to significant savings on your energy bill.
How much amperage does a 12v LED draw?
Not enough to worry about. That's like asking how many amps does the memory preset's on your radio draw. It is in the .001-.01 range.
How much amperage does a three foot base booard heater draw?
You need to mention the voltage and wattage of the device to get the right answer
What makes clothes stick together in the dryer and how does using dryer sheets help eliminate this?
i think its the electricity(static electricity) created in the dryer, i guess you can try not to use too much heat and too much clothes in one machine because i guess that's what makes it static,you know they compress and create pressure and stuff and that's why they stick together...
