Unless otherwise specified, all a.c. voltages and currents are expressed in root-mean-square (rms) values. An rms value is exactly equivalent to a corresponding d.c. value. So, 230 V a.c. is exactly equivalent to 230 V d.c., and 10 A a.c. is exactly equivalent to 10 A d.c.

Incidentally, the symbol for volt is 'V' (not 'v') and the symbol for ampere is 'A' (not 'a').

Can you use a 6 volt relay to 230 volt circuit?

If you are talking about a 6 volt coil, yes, so long as the contacts are rated for the 230 volt circuit. If you are talking about 6 volt contacts, no, absolutely not.


When using air conditioning is the cost of power the same on a 115 volt circuit using 9 amps same as 230 volt circuit using 4.5 amps?

Yes. Power in both cases is 1.035 KW. Your meter shouldn't know the difference.


Can you directly connect 12 V DC 10 A relay to 230 V AC Supply main line?

Yes you can .connect the 230 volt capacitor series with the relay coil.AnswerIf you are referring to the operating coil, then the answer is of course not, as you will be subjecting the coil to nearly 20 times its rated voltage! If you are referring to the contacts, then you need to check the nameplate data for the relay to find out what voltage the contacts are designed to operate at.


How many amperes is a 150HP motor?

a 3 phase 415 volts 50 HZ 15 HP motor draws: 1. On no load 3.6 amp after a starting kick of around 18AMP 2. On a full load : a starting kick of 108 amp for few seconds and then18.3 amp. 3. On rated load(this means the motor is selected such that the load is 80% of the motor capacity) 14.64 amp with a starting kick of 88Amp.


What current is drawn from a 230 V supply by a 8 KW shower?

Since this is basically a pure resistance load, the DC formula for power will be awfully darn close. That formula says that current times voltage equals watts. Therefore 230 V times unknown amps equals 8000 watts. Or, 8000 divided by 230 equals amps. 8000/230= 34.78 amps, or 35 Amps. This formula doesn't work if there is a reactive load ( a load that involves either coils or capacitors). A heating element involves neither, it is pure resistance.

Which is the device that convert Minus 48Dc volt to 230 volt Ac?

That is called an inverter.


How many watts in 1 ampere 230 volt?

Watts = Amps X Volts Grab your calculator!


How Convert 200 volt to 230 volt?

If a precision voltage is needed from 200 to 230 an auto transformer could be used. If the load is a 230 volt motor to be operated on 200 then add 15% to the nameplate full load amperage for the calculation for overload protection.


You have 240v and you need to convert to 230v for an air compressor?

Yes, you can use a 230 volt device on a 240 volt supply.


How do you convert 115 volt into 230 volt?

The only way to do that is with a transformer. They make inline transformers that convert 230 to 115 and they simply plug in inline.

Do a 12 volt 50 watt bulb and a 230 volt 50 watt bulb draw the same current?

No, they do not draw the same current. The current drawn by an electrical device is determined by the power (Watts) and voltage (Volts) using the formula: Current (amps) = Power (Watts) / Voltage (Volts). So, the 12 volt 50 watt bulb will draw higher current compared to the 230 volt 50 watt bulb.


Can 3 volt converted to 230 volt?

no


How Convert 9 volt to 230 volt?

Converting 9 volts to 230 volts would require a pretty hardcore step up transformer (Expensive) and you probably wouldn't have enough current to sustain the load.See discussion page for more information.


Can a 230 volt operate on 127 volt power?

No.


Do you have a 230 volt plug adapter for sale?

Yes, we have a 230-volt plug adapter available for purchase.
