Depends on the model, usually there is a information plate on the device showing power consumption in watts,

The theoretical current flow can be estimated from :

I (current - amps) = Power (watts) / Voltage (volts).

So if you have a 1000 watt toaster @ 230 volts supply, the current in amps

= 1000 / 230 = 4.35 amps.

Is capacitor bank can reduce high load in the electrcal system?

If your question is, "Can a capacitor bank reduce high loads in electrical systems?" Not really. In an AC system, a capacitor bank can be used to balance the complex power drawn by the load. If done correctly, this can reduce the current being drawn by the load. If done incorrectly, this can increase the current being drawn by the load. Look up "power factor correction" for more details.

How much power used on 600v?

To calculate power used on a 600V circuit, you need to know the current flowing through it in amperes. Then, multiply the voltage by the current to find the power in watts using the formula: Power (W) = Voltage (V) x Current (A). Without the current value, we cannot determine the power consumption.


What type of current is used to supply power to HVAC equipment?

Do devices operate on power or current?

Electrical devices use power to operate, but power does not exist without current. Alternately, if current is flowing, power is being stored or used by some electrical device.


What is the harmonic factor in a power system?

Two factors reduce the power used by a piece of equipment compared to the volt-amps drawn from the supply: power factor and harmonic factor. Both factors increase the power transmission losses incurred in supplying a given amount of power.The power factor is less than 1 when voltage and current are out of phase with each other.When they are in phase the power equals the volt-amps except for a nonlinear load with a current that is not proportional to voltage. This generates harmonics in the current and the effect is that the power is less than the volt-amps, by an amount equal to the harmonic factor.


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.


Why no load current in transformer small?

No load current is energizing current. This is effectively "lost" power, power used in the transformer to energize the core. It, therefore, should be small!


Explain differancnce between instrument current transformer and measuring current transformer?

Current transformer is a device used to measure the flow of current through a power system and the measured current is inputted to a protective relay system. It is used to detect system malfunction. Current transducer is a device used to measure AC and DC current based on the halt-effect technology.


Can you use transformer with your 110 aircon?

A transformer can be used to change the voltage to an appliance. The voltage rating of the transformer should be right for the voltages used, and the current rating of the transformer should not be less than the current drawn by the equipment.
