What else can I help you with?
Can you use32amp circuit for a 15amp appliance?
If it is a 32-amp circuit you can use any appliance that takes less than 32 amps. That includes a 15-amp appliance. All appliances fed from that circuit must use 32 amps or less in total.
Why is it dangerous to pass to much current through the mains cable?
Current or AMPS are what the appliance draws or load of the appliance. So, if you have a say 10,000 amps going thru a cable rated for say 1,000 amps , guess what ,the cable over heats and either will melt or at least catch fire.
What size wire do you need for 15 amps?
AWG 10.
What is the resistance of the circuit if the voltage is 230 volts and the current flowing is 5 amps?
The resistance of the circuit will be 46 ohms
If an appliance draws 10 amps and the line voltage is 110 volts the power consumption is?
Power = volts times amps, so an appliance drawing 10 amps at a line voltage of 110 volts is consuming 1,100 watts. Keep in mind, however, that in a non purely resistive load, the phase angle of amps to volts might not be zero degrees, so the calculation becomes more complex, and depends on power factor, or phase angle.
What appliance uses 20 amps?
An electric stove or oven typically uses 20 amps to operate.
What is the voltage of an appliance that has a current of 3 amps and a resistance of 4 ohms?
12 volts.
How many amps does a stove typically require to operate efficiently?
A stove typically requires around 40 to 50 amps to operate efficiently.
What is a resistance of the appliance If 24 amps of current flows through an appliance connected to a 120 v circuit.?
Let R be the resistance, V the voltage, and I the current R = V / I R = 120 / 24 R = 5 ohm
An electric appliance draws 1.5 amperes of current when it is connected to a 24-volt source - What is the resistance of this appliance?
The formula is Resistance= Voltage/ Amps(current) In your example: R=50/2.5, so the answer is 20 ohms.
Why does a slow motor create high amps?
Excessive resistance (drag), will cause motor to draw more amps (current flow) to operate.
How many volts would does it take to operate a DVD player with 550 ohms resistance and a current of 0.2 amps?
In the U.S. 120 volts. <<>> Using the equation E = I x R, Volts = Amps x Resistance = 110 volts.
Will a 34 amp appliance work on 20 amps?
No, a 34 amp appliance requires more amperage than a 20 amp circuit can provide. It is important to match the electrical requirements of an appliance with the circuit it is connected to in order to avoid overloading the circuit and causing potential safety hazards.
How many amps for 115 watts?
To calculate the amps for 115 watts, you need to know the voltage the appliance is operating at. If the appliance is operating at 120 volts, then the current would be approximately 0.96 amps (115 watts / 120 volts).
How many amps in 120volts and 500ohms?
You use Ohm's Law to make your calculation. Volts = Amps x Resistance Amps = Volts / Resistance
A 60 Watt appliance is plugged into a 120 Volt AC outlet How much current is the appliance drawing when it is turned on?
Amps (current) times volts = watts. so watts divided by volts = current (Amps). i.e.- 0.5 Amps.
What happens if you plug a 220 volt appliance into a 230 volt outlet?
Nothing drastic happens, the appliance will operate as normal. The voltages 220 to 240 volts are a nominal figure in the same voltage range. It is brought about by the power company, as they have a responsibility to keep voltages within a certain 10% range. The load will only notice a difference of 1% on the load current. e.g. Wattage load of 2400. Amps = watts/volts. 2400/230V = 10.4 amps. 2400/220V = 10.9 amps. On a constant resistance as the voltage goes lower, the current goes higher and vise versa as the voltage goes higher, the current goes lower.
