Yes, using a method called phase control. This method is also used in dimmer switches to continuously reduce the brightness of lights.

Can you run a hot water heater on a 5000 watt output generator?

Yes, you can run a hot water heater on a 5000-watt output generator, but it depends on the wattage requirements of the heater. Most residential electric water heaters require between 3000 to 4500 watts, so a 5000-watt generator should be sufficient for smaller units. However, be mindful of the starting wattage, as some appliances may require additional power to start. Always check the specifications of your hot water heater to ensure compatibility.

No such part on a Town and Country. There is a blend air motor under the dash that controls the heater output.


What does high or low voltage do to the capacity of an electric heater?

Yes, voltage effects the output of electric heaters. The wattage output rating of the heater will not be reached due to the lower applied voltage. For example if the heater is 5000 watts at 277 volts, the current is I = W/E 5000/277 = 18 amps. The resistance of the heater is R = W/I (squared) = 5000/18 x 18 (324) = 15.43 ohms. Applying 220 volts on the same heater whose resistance is 15.43 ohms results in this new heater wattage rating. W = E (squared)/R = 220 x 220 (48400)/15.43 = 3137 watts. W = watts, I = amperage, R = resistance in ohms and E = voltage.


What is the kilowatt output of an electric heater that has an ampere draw of 50 amps and a voltage source of 208 volts?

The formula you are looking for is W = A x V. Then divide the wattage figure by 1000 to change watts to kilowatts.


If you have a 300 watt RMS and 1000Watt peak power sub-woofer what rating of an amplifier should one consider using?

an amp with 300 or less rms wattage output and 1000 or less peak wattage output.


Can you boost wattage on 5000watt gas generator?

No, it is not recommended or safe to boost the wattage output of a 5000-watt gas generator. The generator is designed to produce a specific amount of power based on its engine and alternator capacity. Attempting to increase the wattage output can damage the generator and may pose a safety hazard.


Can you run a 277volt heater on 220 volts?

Yes, you can but the wattage output rating of the heater will not be reached due to the lower applied voltage. For example if the heater is 5000 watts at 277 volts, the current is I = W/E 5000/277 = 18 amps. The resistance of the heater is R = W/I (squared) = 5000/18 x 18 (324) = 15.43 ohms. Applying 220 volts on the same heater whose resistance is 15.43 ohms results in this new heater wattage rating. W = E (squared)/R = 220 x 220 (48400)/15.43 = 3137 watts. W = watts, I = amperage, R = resistance in ohms and E = voltage.
