To find the power will depend on the voltage the item uses. Assuming a 120 volt circuit divide the wattage by the voltage, this gives the amps used. 2000w / 120v = 16.67 amps. 1500w/ 120v = 12.5 amps used.

120v how much current does a 1500w resistace heater draw?

Using the formula Power = Voltage x Current, we can calculate the current: Current = Power / Voltage. Plugging in the values, we get 1500W / 120V = 12.5A. So, a 1500W resistance heater would draw 12.5A of current at 120V.

Is there any way to connect four 1500-watt heaters to 120V if they are currently connected to 240V and being used as a makeshift hobby oven?

No. If the heaters are designed for 220V they cannot fun off of 110V. Also running a 1500W heater off of 110V would require a dedicated circuit. So four 1500W heaters would require 4 dedicated 110V circuits.

How many amps are generated by a 1500 watt heater at 208 volts?

You have to be careful here. A heater will be advertised as "X" watts, but that is only true if you connect it to the voltage source it is supposed to be connected to. If you plug it into a higher or lower voltage source than intended, it will produce a different number of watts.Electric heaters are just resistors. When you run electricity through them, they get hot. If you run more electricity through that resistor, it will produce more heat. If you run less electricity through it, it will produce less heat.As an example, you can find "1500W/120V" water heater elements at the hardware store. This means that if you plug it into a 120V source, it will produce 1500W of heat, and it will pull 1500W/120V = 12.5A of current.You can calculate the resistance of the heater by taking voltage times voltage divided by watts, so this "1500W/120V" heater is really just a resistor of this many Ohms:120V * 120V / 1500W = 9.6 OhmThat Ohm value is physical property of the device. It will not change. If you were to take this heater now and plug it into a 240V supply, you can calculate the amps with voltage divided by resistance:240V / 9.6 Ohm = 25 AmpsAnd, for watts, you can take voltage times voltage divided by ohms:240V * 240V / 9.6 Ohm = 6000WSorry for the long text, but it's crucial that you understand this.If your heater is 1500W and is INTENDED to be running on 240V, you have a 38.4 Ohm resistor. Running that resistor at the lower 208V will produce only 1126W of heat and will pull just 5.4 Amps of current.However, if your heater is 1500W and is indented to be running on 120V, then you have a 9.6 Ohm resistor. You will almost certainly start a fire if you plug it into a 208V supply, because you will be pulling close to 22 Amps and producing 4500W of heat.


What size wire and breaker is needed via 20ft length for a Westonhouse 1500w floodlight?

If it is a 110 volt light it can safely run on a 20 amp circuit with AWG # 12 wire.


Will 1500 watts break 12 volts?

1500W@12V means a current of 125A, that's quite a lot. You have to check what's the max discharge current allowed for your 12V source. There's no general answer.


Should a 1500W 110v electric (metal) kettle have a 3-pin plug with earth connection?

Yes, a 1500W 110V electric kettle should have a 3-pin plug with an earth connection for safety reasons. The earth connection helps prevent electric shock in case of a fault, providing a path for any leakage current. Additionally, using a 3-pin plug ensures compliance with electrical safety standards, which is particularly important for high-wattage appliances. Always follow local electrical regulations and manufacturer guidelines.

What is the voltage rating of a resistor having power of 1500W?

There are zero volts in 1500 watts. Watts are the product of amps times volts. Without a voltage or amperage stated, an answer can not be given. W = Amps x Volts.
