In the US, most home central AC units operate on a 240V/30-Amp circuit. However, it is always important to check the unit's nameplate to determine what exact voltage and amperage of fuses that should be used.

How do you calculate the ac amps when you have the DC volts DC amps and the ac volts?

the answer is dc volts are rectified from ac volts and the amperage will be the same unless you account for the slight drop from the rectifier. dc volts from a battery have no relationship to ac volts. you can derive ac volts from a dc source using an inverter.

Rms value defination?

Because alternating current (AC) voltage varies over time, to the positive and negative, an actual AC voltage measurement will not be the same as a DC voltage measurement. For example: 5 volts DC is 5 volts constantly, viewed over time. The average voltage is 5 volts. 5 volts AC (from zero to peak) is not actually 5 volts constantly, but varies between 5 volts and 0 volts over time. The average voltage will not be 5 volts. Using RMS AC values is designed to make AC and DC measurements equivalent, for example 5 volts DC and 5 volts RMS AC are almost identical.

How do you convert 1.5 volts AC to 100 watts AC?

P = V x A, POWER (watts) = VOLTS times AMPS But 1.5V AC is not a normal output


Can you charge battery from ac?

No, it must be charged with a battery charger plugged into 120 volts AC which converts it to 12 volts DC.


How do you reduce 12 volts to 3.7 volts?

If the voltage is AC a transformer can be used.


Can a 220 volts ac fan run in a 12 volts battery?

No, a 220 volts AC fan cannot run directly from a 12 volts battery. The fan requires a much higher voltage to operate efficiently. You would need a power inverter to convert the 12 volts from the battery to 220 volts AC to power the fan.


Is 12 volts peak to peak the same as 12 volts ac?

No. 12 volts peak to peak would be 6 in the positive polarity and 6 negative polarity. Simply saying 12 volts AC would be 12 volts in each polarity or 24 volts peak to peak


Why are the outputs of AC generators multiples of 120 volts - like 120 volts and 240 volts and 480 volts?

It is simply a product of standardization.
