In a single-phase system, power (expressed in watts) is generally called 'true power' or 'active power', and is the product of the supply voltage, load current, and load power factor.

In a purely resistive circuit the power is the product of the voltage time the current. This would be applicable for items such as lights, heaters (no with no fans), etc. In non-purely resistive circuits the power is determined by the product of the voltage times the current time the power factor. An industry common practice is to assume a power factor of somewhere between 0.7 and 0.8.

How many amps is 6kW 240 volt single phase?

The equation that you are looking for is Amps = Watts/Volts. There are 6000 watts in 6kW.


How do you compute the 2000 watts in 220 volt to how many amps?

watts = volts * amps--> Amps = watts/ volts therefore; 2000/220= 9.09 amps


How do you calculate watts to amps?

The most basic calculation is volts multiplied by amps of a circuit for a single phase load.


How many amps in 17000 watts?

At 240v single phase it's 70.8 amps. If it runs on 2 wires plus ground, take the voltage rating of the equipment and divide that into the watts to get amps. At 480v 3 phase it's 25.8 amps. At 208v 3 phase it's 47.2 amps. <<>> There are zero amps in 14 kW. A voltage needs to be stated. I = W/E, Amps = Watts/Volts.


How can you compute the number of watts?

watts = volts x amps x power factor


How many amps will a 500kw using 240 volts produce?

500,000 watts/240 volts = 2,083.34 Amps (single phase)


What would be the amperage draw of a single phase 1200 watt heater if voltage is 120?

10 Amps. Amps=Watts/Volts


How many amps does a 2000 watt heater draw at 240 volts on each line?

For a single phase circuit, the equation you are looking for is I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts.


7200 volt 25kw transformer how many amps at 240 single phase?

The formula you are looking for is I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts.


How do you compute on how current is drawn on a 5 horse power single phase motor on a 220 volts?

5 HP is 5 x 746 watts or 3730 watts. The motor has an estimated efficiency of 90% so the total power drawn is 3730/0.9 or 4144 watts. With an estimated power factor of 0.8 the volt-amps are 4144/0.8 or 5180 VA. On a 220v system the amps would be 5180/220 or 23.5 amps.


125 amps is how many watts?

Depends on the voltage output, in a 12 Volt system 12.5 Amps equals 150 Watts, the equation is, (Amps x Volts)= Watts <<>> 12.5 amps is zero watts. Watts is the product of amps x volts. Without the voltage value an answer can not be given.


What is the amperage for a 20000 volt-amp heating unit on a 240 volt single phase circuit?

Volt amps is the same way of saying watts. This is seen in the formula Watts = Volts x Amps. Using the formula I = W/E we transpose I = 20000/240 = 83.33 amps.
