Use Ohms formulas or laws: Amps = Watts divided by voltage or in this case: 720/120=6 amps. See "Ohms law formulas" on the web.

Wire size for an electric range?
Wire size is based of the amperage of the device. To answer this question the amperage is needed or the wattage and voltage of the device.
What is the current in the hair dryer if it is plugged into a 110- V outlet?
Without knowing the wattage that the hair dryer is rated at an amperage can not be stated. If you find the wattage, use this equation to find the amperage. I = W/E, Amps = Watts/Volts.
What is power rating of appliances?
Wattage = voltage x amperage. Every appliance in North America is built to work at 120 V, so you have the voltage. The amperage rating is probably written in the microwaves manual if the wattage is not. Remember the amperage you put on a circuit can't be more that 80% of what the wiring is rated for in the branch circuit.
How many amps does a device need?
Look on the devices nameplate. There it should have the wattage, volts, and amperage.
Installing a 120volt appliance what breaker is needed at the electric box?
Need to know what the wattage or the amperage is of the appliance. The load amperage is what governs the wire size and the breaker to protect the circuit.
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.
Wattage needed for 750 milliampre?
That depends on the voltage V. Wattage P = amperage A times voltage V.
How do you Convert 220v to watts?
There are zero watts in 220 volts. Watts are the product of amps x volts. To receive an answer, the amperage of the device has to be stated. This amperage multiplied by the stated voltage will give you the wattage of a device.
What is the average household's wattage?
The average household in the United States uses around 900 kWh per month, which equates to about 3,000 watts on average. This can vary depending on factors like the size of the household, energy efficiency measures, and the climate.
What is the wattage in the circuit?
wattage is voltage and amperage multiplied. example V/A=W or 120v x 20a=2400 watts
Wire size for an electric range?
Wire size is based of the amperage of the device. To answer this question the amperage is needed or the wattage and voltage of the device.
What is the current in the hair dryer if it is plugged into a 110- V outlet?
Without knowing the wattage that the hair dryer is rated at an amperage can not be stated. If you find the wattage, use this equation to find the amperage. I = W/E, Amps = Watts/Volts.
5222 Watts equals how many AMP?
To find an amperage, you divide the wattage by the voltage.
If the microwaves has 700 watts what is the amp total?
To find an amperage, you divide the wattage by the voltage.
How many watts does a compact fluorescent bulb draw?
Look for an amperage on the ballast. Multiply this amperage by the connected line voltage. This will give you the wattage of the unit.
What is power rating of appliances?
Wattage = voltage x amperage. Every appliance in North America is built to work at 120 V, so you have the voltage. The amperage rating is probably written in the microwaves manual if the wattage is not. Remember the amperage you put on a circuit can't be more that 80% of what the wiring is rated for in the branch circuit.
What size of wire you need to install a cook top?
The sizing of wire is dependant on what the amperage or wattage of the range is. Most new homes are pre-wired for a standard size range. The wiring is #8 with a insulation factor of 90 degree C and rated for 40 amps. This feeder is protected by a 40 amp breaker.If the amperage or wattage is larger than this, then a larger conductor must be installed. Use this equation if you need to change wattage into amperage. I = W/E, Amps = Watts/Volts. If the range is in kilowatts multiply the kilowatt number by 1000 to change it to watts to use in the equation.
