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 do you calculate OD if ID and Thickness given?

To calculate the outer diameter (OD) of a cylindrical object when you have the inner diameter (ID) and the thickness of the material, you can use the formula: OD = ID + 2 × Thickness. This accounts for the thickness on both sides of the cylinder. Simply add twice the thickness to the inner diameter to get the outer diameter.

You can't do that calculation given only that data. It depends more on the design of the LED than its drive levels.


HOW CAN you calculate power if you know the voltage and current?

P = I^2 R = IV = v^2 / R , Where P is power, I is current, R is resistance, and V is voltage. Given voltage and current, power = current * voltage, or P = IV.


How can calculate transformer ratio if out put donor?

To calculate the transformer ratio when the output voltage is known, you can use the formula: Transformer Ratio (Turns Ratio) = Output Voltage (Secondary Voltage) / Input Voltage (Primary Voltage). If you're given the output voltage and the input voltage, simply divide the output voltage by the input voltage to obtain the turns ratio. This ratio indicates the relationship between the number of turns in the primary coil to the number of turns in the secondary coil.


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.
