You really need to know the line voltage (VL) involved. Provided the load is balanced, to find the line current, you need to divide the load (in watts) by (1.732 x VL). Incidentally, the correct symbol for kilowatts is kW, not Kw!

How many amps does a 2000 watt heater draw at 240 volts on each line?

For a single phase circuit, the equation you are looking for is I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts.


What is max single phase hp as per nec?

The maximum single phase HP motor listed in the CEC is 10 HP. At 115 volts 100 amps and 230 volts 50 amps.


How many amps does a 18000 watt generator supply at 240 volts?

75 Amps theoretically Need to know if the generator is 3 phase or single phase.


What if the input power is 208 volts line to line two phase 8 amps to a heating element vs 110 volts 8 amps to a heating element How is watts calculated?

To calculate watts, you need to multiply the voltage (in volts) by the current (in amps). For the 208 volts, 8 amps heating element: Watts = 208 volts * 8 amps = 1664 watts For the 110 volts, 8 amps heating element: Watts = 110 volts * 8 amps = 880 watts


How do you size wire for a 20kw aug heater for a heat pump?

Using the formula: Amps = Watts/Volts look up the wire size needed in the national electric code book for the amperage of the device. This formula only works for single phase current. If you are using 3 phase, look in the book. In general, 15 Amps or less: 14 Ga Copper wire. 20 Amps or less 12 Ga. 30 Amps or less 10 Ga. Anything more than 30 amps, look it up in the book.


How many amps will a 500kw using 240 volts produce?

500,000 watts/240 volts = 2,083.34 Amps (single phase)


How do you convert kva to amps three phase system when you have 220-240 volts?

Amperes when kva is shown. The formula is, Amps = kva x 1000/1.73 x volts.


How many amps do you need to supply a 150kva transformer to get 118amps 480 volts?

Rephrase your question, as it doesn't make any sense. If the primary side of the transformer is 480 volts 3 phase, this transformer can be supplied from a breaker as big as 180 amps. If 480 volts 3 phase is your secondary then you can supply up to 180 amps to your loads.


How many amps is 6kW 240 volt single phase?

The equation that you are looking for is Amps = Watts/Volts. There are 6000 watts in 6kW.


What is the primary amps on a 25kva tranformer with input volts 480 Volts AC?

if it's single-phase, 25,000 divided by 480.


How di you convert kw to amps for a one phase system?

A kw (kilowatt) is 1000 amps x volts. If you assume your one phase system has 120 volts, then divide by 120. Cheap, but close enough for most work, assume 100 volts, then each amp is a tenth of a kilowatt.


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.
