A Volt is a the unit of potential difference in electrical terms. An Amp is the unit of current, that is transfer of electrical charge. They are connected by Ohm's Law, which is that Volts = Current x Resistance. Therefore you have to know the resistance of the circuit to be able to answer your question.
Amps and volts are measurements of two different types of values. To use the famous water analogy, they are like water flow rate (gallons per minute) and pressure (pounds per square inch). They are not a part of each other; rather, different ways to describe a power source.

30 amps on a 250 volt outlet can handle how many watts?

A 30 amp circuit on a 250 volt service could handle up to 7500 watts. That's if it's actually 250 volts coming in. You should check that with your meter.

How many amps does a 12 volt air compressor use?

The amperage of a 12-volt air compressor can vary depending on the model and specifications. However, as a general guideline, a small portable 12-volt air compressor typically draws around 10-15 amps, while larger models may require up to 30 amps or more. It is important to check the specific specifications of the compressor you are using to determine its amperage draw accurately.


How many watts does a 3 amps use in America?

On a 120 volt supply, up to 360 watts. On a 240 volt supply, up to 720 watts.


Is it safe to use a 125volt 15a converter for 220 volt devices in a 120 volt country?

Yes, this can be done. The adapter will handle at 120 volts x 15 amps = 1800 watts. The adapter is just a step up transformer. The maximum 220 volt device that can be connected can only have an amperage rating of 8 amps at 220 volts.

A 14 volt lightbulb is equal to how many watts?

If you have 14 watts, you have 14 watts of power. We measure electromotive force (EMF), which is commonly called voltage, in volts. EMF (voltage) is the force that will drive electron current flow, which is measured in amps. Simply put, power is current times voltage, or, said another way, watts is amps times volts. If you have 14 watts, you could have 14 amps at 1 volt, 7 amps at 2 volts, 2 amps at 7 volts, or any other combination of current and voltage with a product of 14. You may have picked up that because watts is amps times volts, we can say that a watt is a volt-amp. Extending that thinking, 14 watts is 14 volt-amps. There is no way to write 14 watts in volts, at least not without having a bit more information.


How many amps does a 240 volt 10000 watt load draw?

Minimum current would be 10000 divided by 240 but it might be up to 30% more if the load has a poor power factor.


What is the average wattage a freezer uses?

Voltage X amps = wats 120 volt freezer drawing 2 amps is 240 watts running note it can take up to 3 to 4 times that to start. you have rla run load amps then you have LRA Lock rotor amps (what it takes to start)


I have a 220 volt 30 amp generator and 15 amp 240 volt light what do you need to do to make this work?

Nothing, just plug it in. Although the generator has the ability to produce up to 30 amps, the light will only pull 15, this will allow you to utilize the generator to run other items as well...


Do 8 1.5 volt batteries make a 12 volt?

Yes, If they hooked-up in series, not parallel.


For 200 amps service do you use 100 amps per 120 volt leg?

In a 200 amp service, each leg carries 100 amps. However, since the legs are 180 degrees out of phase, you can achieve 240 volts across both legs. So, a 200 amp service typically consists of two 120 volt legs, each providing up to 100 amps.
