Which ever one you purchased. They are all rated different, if your talking 50gal
well most are around 4500watts. But somewhere on the tank or the paper work that you got with the heater,tells you what wattage of the elements is.
If you can't find it, you should be able to see who the MFG of the heater is and model#,
you can go online to the mfg website and find info on the heater.
Watts = Amps x Volts for a resistive load like a water heater.
The GE water heater SE50M12AA01 is a 5500 watts or 5.5 Kilowatts water tank. The amperage on such a tank is I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts. Since most hot water tanks in North America use a voltage of 240, the amps will be 22.9 amps. It must be fed with a #10 conductor from a 30 amp breaker.
The average size water tank is 4500 watts. The generator's supply will be large enough to operate the water tank. Larger tanks over 5000 watts will not heat correctly.
You check on the ends of the immersion heater elements. The wattage will be stamped on it. The other thing you can do is look at the instruction manual and find the specs. for the tank. Watts = amps x volts. Amps = Watts/240 volts.
A ceramic heater uses the same amount as a regular heater. Most heater use 1500 watts so in one hour a 1500 watt home heater will use 12.5 amp hours.
for a large one it is 4,000 watts and for a smaller one it is 1,000 watts
Watts = Amps x Volts for a resistive load like a water heater.
it all depends on the amount of water you can usually get by with a 10 gallon heater
VOLTS x (VOLTS/OHMS) = WATTS 240 X (240/8) = 7200 Watts = 7.2KWatts
Yes but you will not get the full watt rating out of the tank. Watts = amps x volts. Say the tank draws 20 amps. 20A x 240V = 4800 watts. 20A x 208V = 4160 watts. It will take longer to heat your water with less wattage.
Different 240 volt watt water heaters use different amounts of watts! Look at your water heater. It should have a plate that lists the watts! On the other hand, the water heater only uses watts when it is heating water. If the family uses paper plates and takes brief showers by getting wet, turning off the shower, applying soap, and then rinsing, it will use a lot less electricity than if every member of the family runs out the tank of hot water taking a hot shower every day.
Watts is the amount of power the heater has and amps would be the draw- if it is a 120 volt heater than the amps would be 12.5 amps and it is instantaneous
