A 60 Watt appliance is plugged into a 120 Volt AC outlet How much current is the appliance drawing when it is turned on?
Amps (current) times volts = watts. so watts divided by volts = current (Amps). i.e.- 0.5 Amps.
Can you use 265 volt appliance on a 220 volt line?
Yes, the 265 volts is just the maximum the appliance can handle. You can use it on a 240 volt circuit.
You observe a small plaque on an electrical appliance that reads in part 115 volts AC 60 Hz This means that the appliance?
That the appliance does not need a electrical transformer and uses the US standards for electricity off the grid.
What is current ratings or ampere ratings of various electrical appliances?
it as d current rating or d current used by d appliance at max. power in its unit which is ampere(A).
What is the maximum voltage the meter can handle?
Depends on the meter. If unknown, to be safe do not exceed the value of the highest range.

What is formula for calculate maximum current?
volts divided by resistance equals maximum amperage (current)
What is the voltage of an appliance that has a current of 3 amps and a resistance of 4 ohms?
12 volts.
Can a 120 volt appliance run on a 110 volt circuit?
Yes. Circuits in a home are 120 volts but people tend to call them 110 volt circuits. The 120 volts you read on the appliance is the maximum voltage the appliance can handle. The actual voltage you will read at any outlet will range from 110 to 120 volts.
How many volts in 1200 watts?
Wattage is unit of power which is the product of Voltage in V and Current in Amps. If you know the current drawn by the appliance with 1200 Watts then you can calculate the Voltage = Power/ Current. For eg. if the current drawn by the appliance is 100A then the voltage is 1200/100 i.e. 12 Volts.
Can you use 265 volt appliance on a 220 volt line?
Yes, the 265 volts is just the maximum the appliance can handle. You can use it on a 240 volt circuit.
How do you figure out an appliance's power consumption if you have the voltage and Frequency and Current?
You just need the voltage and the current. Watts = Amps x Volts.
You observe a small plaque on an electrical appliance that reads in part 115 volts AC 60 Hz This means that the appliance?
That the appliance does not need a electrical transformer and uses the US standards for electricity off the grid.
What is the maximum current demand for a 15000 watt range?
The maximum current will depend on the voltage of the power supply. For a supply at 240 volts, the max current will be 15000/240 = 62.5 amps. For a supply at 110 volts, the max current will be 15000/110 = 136.36amps to two significant figures.
If you know the power rating of an appliance and the voltage of the line it is attached to you can you calculate the current used by the appliance?
If I understood your question correctly, 'If you know the power rating of an appliance and the voltage of the line it is attached to, can you calculate the current used by the appliance?' You are looking for this equation: I = Current (Amps) P = Power Rating (Watts) V = Voltage (Volts) I = P/V This equation is useful when calculating the fuse rating for an appliance. For example, and appliance rated at 2400 watts, supplied with 240 volts has a 10 amp maximum. I = 2400/240 however, when it comes to paying for electricity, the energy is measured in units, which can be found using the equation: P = Power (kW) t = Time (Hours) Energy Used (Units) = Pt for example, an appliance rated at 2 kW used for 3 hours, uses 6 units of energy. Units = 2*3
What is current ratings or ampere ratings of various electrical appliances?
it as d current rating or d current used by d appliance at max. power in its unit which is ampere(A).
Can you use ac dc adapter of 12 volts and 2 amps for an appliance rated for 7.5 volts and 1.8 amps?
To use an adapter of this sort, its rated voltage must match the rated voltage of the appliance, and its rated current must exceed that of the appliance. So, in your example, the rated voltage is too high to be used with your appliance.
