The equation that needs to be used is I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts. Amps = 500/240 = 2.08 amps.

How many watts in 500 amperes welding machine?

A welding machine rated at 500 amperes uses around 120000 watts of power. This is used in very heavy industrial applications due to its large power draw.


20 amp breaker how many watts?

Watts = volts x amperes. So if your region uses 110 volts, 20 amperes is equivalent to 2200 watts; if your region uses 220 volts, 20 amperes is equivalent to 4400 watts.


How many volts can you get from 260 watts?

It depends on how many amperes there are. If you have 1 amperes, then you get 260 watts. If you have 260 amperes, then you have 67,600 watts. If you have 0.001 amperes, then you have 0.26 watts. Its just watts = volts times amperes. Of course, the limiting factor is the available power behind the 260 volts, but you did not say anything about that.


How you find ups watts?

It is expressed in Volt-Amperes not Watts.


What are the watts on a 1999 Ford Escort?

Volts X amperes = watts.


How do you solve watts to amperes?

Amps = Watts/Volts, or Amps = Sq Root of Watts/Resistance.


Do amperes have more power than watts?

You can't really compare that. Amperes and watts measure completely different things. On the other hand, any time there are amperes, there are also watts. The relationship is:P = I^2 x R or in units: watts = amperes squared x resistance


What is the relationship between amperage voltage and power.?

The relationship between amperes, volts, and watts is... watts = amperes * volts Confirming by looking at the fundamental units involved... watts (joules per second) = amperes (coulombs per second) * volts (joules per coulomb)

How many watts is 8.6 amperes?

8.6 amps is zero watts without a voltage.


How many watts are in 600 volts?

You are confusing electrical potential (Volts) and power (Watts). The equation for power (watts) is P = VI where V is volts (a measure of electrical "pressure") and I is current in amperes (the rate of flow of electricity). If the system is 120V and the power used is 600W then the current used is 5A. If the system is 240V and the power used is 600W then the current used is 2.5A.


Can a normal house power a 120-60 hz 45 w appliance?

Yes. In North America household power is 120/240V at 60Hz and 45 Watts means it will only draw 0.375 Amperes. So it can safely be used
