Assuming you got that number off an electric kettle it is because that is how much power is needed to heat the water. The number of watts actually measure how much energy the kettle is designed to use. Water is very hard to heat compared to other liquids(or to cool). So it takes a lot of watts to get the kettle to heat the water.

What current is a kettle?

The current drawn by a kettle can vary based on the power rating of the kettle. Typically, a kettle in the range of 1500-2000 watts would draw around 12-16 amps of current when operating at full power.

How much current do you need for a kettle?

The current required for a kettle depends on its power rating, typically measured in watts (W). For example, a standard electric kettle might use around 1500 to 3000 watts. To calculate the current (in amperes), you can use the formula: Current (A) = Power (W) / Voltage (V). In most regions with a standard voltage of 230V, a 1500W kettle would draw about 6.5A, while a 3000W kettle would draw about 13A.


What is the output watts when generator producing 415volts at 800amps load?

To calculate the output power in watts, multiply the voltage by the current. In this case, the output power would be 332,000 watts (415 volts x 800 amps = 332,000 watts).


Convert horsepower to watts?

Depends upon the voltage. At 110 volts, 800 watts = 7.27 amps. At 115 volts, 800 watts = 6.96 amps. At 120 volts, 800 watts = 6.67 amps. At 220 volts, 800 watts = 3.64 amps. Just divide the wattage by the voltage to determine the amperage. (You can also divide the wattage by the amperage to determine the voltage!)
