first calculate current from power and voltage.

then since wire comes in standard gauges with a maximum current rating for each just select the wire gauge from the table that can carry more current than the value calculated.

How many volts is 450 watts?

To calculate the voltage, you need to know the current (amperage) as well. The formula to calculate power (watts) given voltage (volts) and current (amps) is: Power (P) = Voltage (V) x Current (I). Without knowing the current, it is not possible to directly convert watts to volts.


What is the calculated wattage of a computer that draws 4 A of current?

To calculate the wattage of a device, you need to know both the current (in amperes) and the voltage (in volts). If the voltage is not provided, you cannot accurately calculate the wattage. In this case, with only the current (4 A) given, you cannot determine the wattage without knowing the voltage as well.
