If my AC technician says my unit is rated at 28.9 amps and drawing 24.8 and should draw about half of rated capacity and that compressor needs to be replaced Is this correct?
There are several amperage ratings on AC compressors/motors. Locked Motor Amperage (LRA) is the amperage that the motor is fused for. The load of the motor is expressed in amperage or wattage, which is probably the case here. Low amperage readings on an AC unit being charged by amperage load would indicate low freon. High amperage readings indicate overcharge when charging by the amperage load. AC units are not accurately charged by amperage readings and the efficiency of motors is not expressed in amperage readings.
What amperage will a range with a rating of 12.9 kw draw?
This depends on what voltage the range is rated for and if it is single phase or three phase. At 220 volts single phase it is about 60 amps, 240 v single phase , 53 amps and at 480 v three phase about 15 amps.
Can you use a 12 v rated wire carrying a 24 v?
A wire rated to 12 v can be used for carrying a 12 v current if it has the same amperage. It is the amperage or the volume of electricity which determines the size of the wire rather than its voltage.
Can a 115 volt icemaker be plugged into a 110 volt receptacle outlet?
There is no problem with that voltage. As long as the voltage is plus or minus 5% of the nominal voltage of 115 volts it is considered to be in the 120 volt range. Even though there is only a 110 volt potential at the outlet it is still rated to a voltage of 120 volts maximum. The second consideration is the amperage of the icemaker. Most 120 volt receptacles are rated at 15 amps and are fed with a #14 wire that is rated at 15 amps. As long as the icemaker does not draw more amperage than the receptacle is rated for the connection will be fine. If the icemaker draws more that 15 amps the breaker will trip.
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 is the calculated load for an electric range rated at 16 kw?
a: there is no calculated load for the range. This 16 kw is the maximum that this particular range can safely use any thing less is OK.
What is the best rated brand of electric range cooker?
According to user ratings of different websites, "Leisure" seems to be the best rated brand of electric range cooker. "Belling" and "Flavel" are also well rated brands.

What does LRA mean in electrical terms?
Locked rotor amperage is the amperage the motor draws when the voltage is first applied to the motor and the rotor has not started to turn. This amperage is usually up to 300% of the motors running amperage. Once the rotor starts to turn the motor generates a back EMF (electro motive force) that opposes the high inrush current. This back EMF drives the amperage down until the motor gets up to its rated speed at which time the motor amperage will be at its run amperage.
Can you use a 36 watt fuse for a 40 watt fluorescent bulb?
Fuses are not rated in wattage, they are rated in amperage and voltage.
What are the highest rated brands of gas ovens?
Some of the best rated stoves are: Samsung FTQ387LWGX Stainless Steel 30-in Electric Range, LG LDE3015ST Stainless Steel 30 Electric Range, Whirlpool GGE388LXS Stainless Steel 30-in Electric Range, General Electric JB850STSS Stainless Steel 30-in Electric Range, and LG LRE30453ST Stainless Steel Electric Range. These stoves are great quality and affordable.
Does an electric stove burner use 220 or 110?
The burners will most likely be 240V. By keeping the range at 240 volts it will use less amps that at 120V. Say a range and oven is rated at 9000 watts. Watts = amps x volts. 9000/240V = 37.5 amps. 9000/120V = 75 amps. As you can see at 120 volts the amperage is double over 240 volts. You would need a 100 amp breaker and #4 wire to accomodate the range on 120 volts.
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.
What amperage will a range with a rating of 12.9 kw draw?
This depends on what voltage the range is rated for and if it is single phase or three phase. At 220 volts single phase it is about 60 amps, 240 v single phase , 53 amps and at 480 v three phase about 15 amps.
Why do you need a 125 amp breaker for a 83 amp furnace?
If you put a 85 amp breaker in there it will overheat from the starting and stopping of the motor. The extra size of the breaker insures that the furnace will run without interruption and without overheating the breaker. And electric motor can draw three times the amperage rated on start up momentarily. This is why there is need of extra amperage ratings.
Can you use a 12 v rated wire carrying a 24 v?
A wire rated to 12 v can be used for carrying a 12 v current if it has the same amperage. It is the amperage or the volume of electricity which determines the size of the wire rather than its voltage.
Can you run a motor of greater amperage draw with a motor of less amperage draw?
It looks like you are asking if a higher amperage motor can replace a lower amperage motor. It depends on what the amperage difference is. If the amperage is high enough to move the capacity of the wire out of its rated value then it should not be done.Remember motor conductors have to be rated at 125% of the motors nameplate amperage. As the amperage increases so does the HP and the motor's protection will also have to be increased or the motor will trip the lower overload protection settings.Also keep in mind that if the motor is three phase, running a motor with higher HP on a load that does not need the extra HP, it will lower the power factor of the supply distribution.
