It means the manufacturer has tested a box like the one you have by feeding 1000 amps through it without problems like the insulation breaking down or arcs happening between the contacts in it.

They're not saying that if you feed 1001 amps through the box it's going to instantly self-immolate; they ARE saying if you feed 1000 amps through it, it won't.

How many amps are in 1000 mah?

1000 milliamps (1000 ma) is equal to 1 amp or 1a. So if you mean ma, than the answer is one. But, a milliamphour, or mah, does not equal any amp or amps. That is because an amps current is instantaneous, but an amphour is an amp delivered for one hour, or 1/10th amp delivered for 10 hours.


Can a 1000volts microwave be connected to a 15amp receptacle?

To my knowledge there is no such a thing as a 1000 volt cooking microwave oven. If you mean 1000 watt then the answer to your question is yes. W = A x V. Presuming that the 15 amp receptacle is on a 120 volt system then the amperage draw on a 1000 watt microwave oven would be A = W/V 1000/120 = 8.3 amps with 6.6 amps to spare.


How many amps is a 1000 watt microwave oven draw It is a 120 volt?

When the manufacturers refer to a 1000 watt oven they usually mean heat into food. The efficiency of ovens vary but it is quite common that a 1000 watt would consume 2000 watts from the mains. Watts = Amps X Volts so at 120V this would be 16.67 amps. But to be more accurate you need to find the actual input power of the oven.


How many turns shall you make on a steel rod to make a strong permanent magnet and how thick must be the wire?

Presumably you mean turns of wire into which you feed a current. Well, the magnetism is propotional to the current flow. So if you have just one turn and have 1000 amps you'd have the same effect as having 1000 turns and one amp. But the wire would need to be very thick to carry 1000 amps.
