Why does the heater blower switch get hot?
As heater motors age, they tend to draw more amps than they should. Yours is probably drawing too much amperage causing the switch to heat up. Remedy is to replace the heater motor and possibly the switch as the terminals get hot and oxidize.
If a laptop is powered by twelve volts will a 150 watt inverter work?
Maybe, or maybe not. Depends upon the wattage or amperage draw. At 120 volts and 150 watts, you can draw about 1.2 amps. Probably not enough for a newer laptop, but may power an older one fine. A 300 or 600 watt inverter can be bought on eBay for about 30 bucks.
How does an alternator produce different amps?
It depends on the load and the voltage. In an automobile, a battery will typically have a voltage of about 12 Volts. If the engine is not running and you turn on the lights, the lights will start drawing current from the battery and the voltage will drop by a volt or so, depending on how strong a charge the battery has. An alternator will produce in the neighborhood of 15 Volts. If it is trying to push current into a system with a fully charged battery, it will only be able to push a few amps. If the voltage in the battery drops, the alternator will be able to push more amps. A completely dead battery will draw the most current (amps).
How many watts in 1 volt?
The question doesn't make sense. Watts are the product of volts and amps so you could have 1 V with a current of 1 amp = 1 watt or 10V and a current of 0.1 amps = 1 watt or 100V and a current of 0.01 amps = 1 watt etc.
How many amps does a five horse power motor draw?
It depends on the voltage-- I think at 110v it's 4 amps per hp
A 2000 watt heater connected to a 120 volt circuit will draw a current of?
Current (amps)=Watts/Volts =2000/120 =16.75 =16.75 amps
How many amps does a 2000 watt heater draw at 240 volts?
Amps * Volts = Watts So, Watts / Volts = Amps 2000 / 240 = 8.333 Amps You should run the circuit on a two pole 15 Amp breaker, using 14 AWG, 2 conductor (plus ground) wire, just so you have a little safety factor in the circuit size.
How many amps will a 400 watt heater cartrige draw at 240 volts?
The formula you are looking for is I = W/E.
What is the amp draw for a 3800 watt 240 volt water heater?
To calculate the amp draw for a 3800-watt water heater at 240 volts, use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. Thus, the amp draw would be 3800 watts / 240 volts, which equals approximately 15.83 amps. Therefore, the water heater draws about 16 amps.
What is the number of AMPS for a 240V 2400 watt water heater?
Watts = Amps x Volts for a resistive load like a water heater.
How many amps does a 750 watt 120 volt heater draw?
To find the current in amps that a 750 watt, 120 volt heater draws, you can use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. So, 750 watts divided by 120 volts equals 6.25 amps. Therefore, the heater draws approximately 6.25 amps.
How many amps needed for a 9000 btu unit at 240 volts?
9000 BTU/hour is equivalent to 2300 watts so the heater will draw 10 amps on 230 volts.
What would be the amperage draw of a single phase 1200 watt heater if voltage is 120?
To calculate the amperage draw, you can use the formula P = V x I, where P is the power in watts, V is the voltage in volts, and I is the current in amps. Given that the power is 1200 watts and voltage is 120 volts, you can rearrange the formula to solve for current. Therefore, I = P / V, so the amperage draw of the heater would be 10 amps.
How many amperes use an electric heater?
The amperage of an electric heater depends on its power rating in watts and the voltage it operates on. To determine the amperage, divide the wattage by the voltage (Amperes = Watts / Volts). For example, a 1500 watt electric heater running on 120 volts would use 12.5 amperes (1500 watts / 120 volts = 12.5 A).
How many amps does a block heater draw?
To answer this question the wattage of the block heater must be stated. Amps = Watts/Volts.
How many amps will a 5200 btu heater pull?
To determine the amperage draw of a 5200 BTU heater, you can use the formula: Amps = BTUs / (Voltage x Efficiency). For example, if the heater operates at 120 volts and has an efficiency of about 100%, it would pull approximately 43.3 amps (5200 BTU / 120 volts). However, many small heaters operate at lower voltages (like 120V), so it's essential to check the specific heater's specifications for accurate amperage.
What size breakers are needed for two 500 watt baseboards?
Each baseboard heater will draw a little over 4 amps at 120 volts or 2 Amps at 240 volts. The total number of baseboards on a circuit will draw the sum of these amps. Keep the load under 80% of the amperage rating of the breaker.
