How many watts is 263AW?
AW is not a recognised abbreviation so more information is needed, like what kind of appliance it is.
Which one has more power 10 watts or 12.5 watts?
More Watts equals more power. So once you have decided which is bigger, 10 or 12.5, that is the one with more power.
Why does my 1875 watts hairdryer keep blowing out the lights?
If you are operating on a standard 120 volt system, 1875 watts will draw 15.625 amps. A standard fuse or circuit breaker is 15 amps. You are drawing more current than the wiring was designed to provide. The breaker or fuse stops that before you burn down the house. You need a smaller dryer, or bigger wiring.
Does more watts on a CB antenna mean more range?
Generally more watts on a CB antenna doesn't mean more range. On average, a typical CB antenna takes in 4 watts before damage occurs. Watts is the power source not the range of signal.
What are the difference in energy consumption using a 110 volts to a 220 volts?
The energy consumption for the same appliance the power consumption in watts would be the same watts = volts X amps. In general if an appliance requires 10 Amps @ 110V then it would only require 5 amps @ 220V In general in an a North American house the appliances that run on 220V are on 220 because they would pull too much power to be logically wired on 110V. So they do pull more power than most 110V appliances.

How much energy would you save if you turned off your appliances every night?
depends on the appliance and how much watts it need. i would assume alot of energy though. but even more energy if yolu unplug the appliance
What wire would you use for a receptacle in kitchen?
To answer this question more information is required, as to the appliance electrical consumption.
Can you use an appliance on a 110 volts when it requires 120 volts?
Some appliances, like air conditioners and clothes dryers require about twice as much electricity as most other devices, and require their own 220V supply of electricity. Your appliance will not work with only half the amount of electricity it needs. I recommend calling an electrician and having him install the appropriate plug.
Is it dangerous to run an appliance with more watts than the transformer?
A transformer has a rating that is usually expressed in KVA. This is approximately a wattage rating. It is not dangerous but it can be the cause of some concern. An appliance has a set current that is draws. This current times the voltage is the appliance's wattage. The same goes for the transformer. It only has a certain capacity to supply a specific current that is governed by its KVA (watts). Driving the transformer beyond its rated capacity tends to heat the transformer beyond its working temperature. If left in this over current draw the transformer's windings insulation will break down and the windings will short circuit. This is usually the end of a working transformer. So short answer, more watts (amps) from appliance equals burned out transformer.
Can you plug in up to 4400 watts appliance to a 20 amperes breaker?
A 20-amp supply can be used for a 4400 watt appliance provided the voltage is 220 v or more, and the appliance is designed for the same supply votage, and the power factor is 1. On a 240 v supply the power factor must exceed 0.92.
Why would it be dangerous to replace a fuse with one a higher value?
The fuse would not "blow" when the critical power loading was reached. The power going into the appliance could exceed the safety level. At best this could damage the appliance - which will usually be more expensive than a fuse. At worst, it could lead to a short circuit and a fire which could destroy property and possibly kill!
How do you convert 2500kw to amps?
Watts = Amps x Volts x Power factor Hence, more information is required to answer your question.
What consumes more energy 1000 watts or 1400 watts?
1400 watts.
How many KW is required to run 40 hp 3 phase motor?
W (Watts) refers to the resistive (real) power of an appliance. Providing that the circuit is purely resistive then 60kW = 60kVA, if the appliance circuit includes capacitance / inductance more information is needed to answer the question such as the power factor or phase bewtween voltage and current. Assuming a house supply of 240 V (rms), 60kVA would represent a current of 60k/240 = 250 Amps. Note that a single house ring mains fuse/trip is usually 60 Amps.
Which one has more power 10 watts or 12.5 watts?
More Watts equals more power. So once you have decided which is bigger, 10 or 12.5, that is the one with more power.
