Im wiring a tanning bed in your house and need to know what size with and amp breaker to use 220V circuit 1100W?
Tylax6
Q: This is the real question and story...NEED AN ANSWER!! HELP
First of all i got the tanning bed free on Craigslist, and here are the specs and stuff.
Sunquest 7000
type. 1000 H-2D1
Serial # 00002657
V=220v 60Hz
P= 1100w
I=5.7A
cos=.85
Date: Jan 1990 made in holland UK
Its a 40 bulb stand up unit that has 4 seporate walls going to a plastic type junction box with the contactor, and the power end has a 3 prong end with black/white/green (10/2) wires going into the male end.
When i first got the bed i pluged it into the 220 box in our barn where we use a welder and it fired right up, 4 of the biulbs were bad tho so took those out. after about 5-7 minutes it would blow the breaker in the barn. The breaker is a 40amp out there with 10/2 wire running to the plug. After flipping the breaker back on and turning the bed back on it now would only take about 2 minutes to trip it...so somethings not right. maybe a short somewhere? a ballast gone bad? any ideas?
I now moved the bed into the basement in the house and now need to figure out what size wire, breaker amp size and stuff to hook it up.
Im assuming that it might need a 50 amp breaker, and then i would have to use like #6 wire?? or would this be overkill. we already have 10/2 and 10/3 wire that is ran from the fusebox into the basement that is tied off and not used and i would be really sweet if i could use that but want to be safe and not burn the house down either!
Any help will be appreciated!!!! Thanks

What is the wattage of a sharp r-303cw microwave?
1100w
Is a 125v extension cord ok to use on a 1100w microwave oven?
Yes. It should be a 'heavy-duty' extension cord, rated for 15A or 20A .
Can a 1100w mini oven safely be used plugged Ino a standard household socket?
A 1100 watt oven can be plugged into a standard household socket. Using the formula for computing wattage which is the voltage at the outlet, (120 volts A.C.) times the Amperage,(unknown, although you could look at the label on the back or bottom of the appliance) yoiu would get the wattage. Volts times amperage equals wattage. This can be looked at also as wattage divided by the voltage to get the amperage or current. If the amperage is below 15 it is okay to plug it in. Some kitchen outlets are rated higher like 20 amps but most outlets are 15 amp. 1100 watts divided by 120 volts gives you about 9 amps, well within the limits of the electrical circuit.
How many 12 volt batteries are needed to power a 1.5 hp pump?
Depends on the batteries, and for how long you want the pump to run. 1.5 hp, that's 1100W. On 12V that's 92A, quite a lot. An average car battery would be drained in something like 40-60 minutes - assuming it can stand those discharge currents for more than a short moment. I'd recommend to either get a pump for a higher voltage, or multiple batteries connected in parallell.
How many amps are in 1900 watts at 110 volts?
Depends on the supply voltage. For UK 230 Volts, 1800 Watts would mean the current drawn was 7.83 Amps.Watts=Volts x Amps, so Watts divided by Volts gives the current in amps.
What is the difference in cook times of a 1100 watt Microwave and a 700 watt Microwave?
You could use this equation: (1100W/1200W) * 6min = 5.5min However, microwaves vary considerably and just using wattage may not give the correct result. Unfortunately, trial and error is probably the only way to get the correct time. Additionally, many factors will change the cooking times such as the container that the food is in, and where in the microwave the food is placed. The best method would be to use a food thermometer to measure the temperature of the food, and change the cooking time to get to the correct temperature.
How many watts makes 110 volts?
There is no translation between volts and watts, they measure different things. Power (in watts) equals potential difference (in volts) times current (in amps) P=IV=(I^2)R=(V^2)/R
How many amps does a hairdryer use?
That depends entirely on the hair dryer; different models have different energy consumption values. Read the label and if necessary, use the formula: Amps * Volts = Watts If you know any two of the values, you can calculate the third (remember basic algebra?) For calculation purposes, figure that the voltage in the United States is about 117 to 120.
