How do you know how many amps an appliance is using?
If the appliance tells you how many watts it's supposed to use you can buy a watt-meter to measure how many watts the appliance is using buy plugging in the meter into the wall and then plugging the appliance into the meter. A popular brand is "Kill A Watt", it meter can be bought on E-bay for under $25.
What is a measure of the electric power an appliance uses?
The watt is the unit of power. For electricity, watts = volts x amps.
What are the amps and watts of a washer and dryer?
A good average is 3000 Watts
What appliance uses columbite tantalite?
Sears uses columbite tantalite for the appliance uses because they are an appliance store. You can probably find traces of the mineral in their washing-machine's metal and their oven's metal as well.
How many watts does a 16 amp appliance draw at 115 volts?
1840

What are the uses of wattmeter?
Wattmeter is an intrument which is used to measure the power consumption of an Electric circuit or an appliance which is connected to the supply in terms of Watts.

When you know how many watts an appliance uses how much time passes for those stated watts?
Watts are an instantaneous measurement of power. Meaning, when you measure how many watts an appliance is using, that is the power required to operate it at that exact moment in time. When people use the term kWh, it means an amount of power being consumed over a period of time. As an example, one kWh is 1000 watts over the span of an hour.
Can you use a 65 watts appliance with a 90 watts adapter?
Yes, the adaptor can supply anything from zero up to 90 watts.
What appliance can you run on 50 watts?
some kinds of microwaves
Will an American electrical appliance get ruined if fed 100 watts by a converter in Europe?
The amount of watts AVAILABLE to an appliance is not so significant as long as there are ENOUGH watts. Three things are important when determining what U.S. appliances can be used in Europe with converters: 1. Voltage. Most U.S. appliances operate on 110 volts. Your converter must be capable of delivering 110 volts to your appliance. 2. Current. Volts X Amps = Watts. It's a simple formula but it will determine whether your appliance will operate on a converter or just be frustrating. While volts is the "potential", Watts is a measurement of energy. It can be the energy the appliance uses or the energy that the converter delivers. If the appliance uses 200 Watts a 100 Watt converter will not work, either the appliance or the converter will fail. 3. HZ. While most appliances are not so fussy, some devices require that the electrical source be 60 HZ. Europe is 50 HZ and as such will cause some problems with appliances that require 60 HZ. FYI, HZ is the number of times per second that an electrical source reverses voltage. Commercial power is delivered as "alternating current", since that is the only way transformers can function. Europe has a different standard so make sure your appliance will operate on 50 HZ before you take it all the way over there. If the appliance does not list the energy used in Watts, it should be there in Amps, so you can use the formula above to figure out the Watts that you need. Good luck, and have a nice time in Europe.
In a home has 120v service there is an electric appliance that a risistance of 12 how much power will this appliance consume?
1440 Watts
What are the amps and watts of a washer and dryer?
A good average is 3000 Watts
How can you calculate the current an appliance can use?
current=watts(power)/voltage
