Let's look at the current. The current can be calculated in two easy ways using these known data:

Volts/Ohms and Watts/Volts

Now 12/18 isn't the same as 5/12, so there's something wrong here.

Can you run a 277volt heater on 220 volts?

Yes, you can but the wattage output rating of the heater will not be reached due to the lower applied voltage. For example if the heater is 5000 watts at 277 volts, the current is I = W/E 5000/277 = 18 amps. The resistance of the heater is R = W/I (squared) = 5000/18 x 18 (324) = 15.43 ohms. Applying 220 volts on the same heater whose resistance is 15.43 ohms results in this new heater wattage rating. W = E (squared)/R = 220 x 220 (48400)/15.43 = 3137 watts. W = watts, I = amperage, R = resistance in ohms and E = voltage.


How do you convert watts into amperes?

To convert watts into amperes you divide the circuit voltage into the watts. Amps = Watts/Volts. <<>> Converting Watts to Amps The conversion of Watts to Amps is governed by the equation Amps = Watts/Volts For example 12 watts/12 volts = 1 amp Converting Amps to Watts The conversion of Amps to Watts is governed by the equation Watts = Amps x Volts For example 1 amp * 110 volts = 110 watts Converting Watts to Volts The conversion of Watts to Volts is governed by the equation Volts = Watts/Amps For example 100 watts/10 amps = 10 volts Converting Volts to Watts The conversion of Volts to Watts is governed by the equation Watts = Amps x Volts For example 1.5 amps * 12 volts = 18 watts Converting Volts to Amps at fixed wattage The conversion of Volts to Amps is governed by the equations Amps = Watts/Volts For example 120 watts/110 volts = 1.09 amps Converting Amps to Volts at fixed wattage The conversion of Amps to Volts is governed by the equation Volts = Watts/Amps For Example, 48 watts / 12 Amps = 4 Volts Explanation Amps are how many electrons flow past a certain point per second. Volts is a measure of how much force that each electron is under. Think of water in a hose. A gallon a minute (think amps) just dribbles out if it is under low pressure (think low voltage). But if you restrict the end of the hose, letting the pressure build up, the water can have more power (like watts), even though it is still only one gallon a minute. In fact the power can grow enormous as the pressure builds, to the point that a water knife can cut a sheet of glass. In the same manner as the voltage is increased a small amount of current can turn into a lot of watts.


12v DC 18va how many amps amps?

12 V DC, 18 VA (watts) how many amps? Formula: amperage I = power P (VA) divided by voltage V. So, amperage I = 18 watts / 12 volts = 0.083 amperes.


How many watts are in 3 amps?

The conversion of watts to amps at a fixed voltage is governed by the equation Amps = Watts/Volts for example 12 watts/12 volts = 1 amp for a US example, a food mixer with a 400 watt motor on a 120 volt supply 400/120 = 3.33amps, fit a 5amp fuse


What does high or low voltage do to the capacity of an electric heater?

Yes, voltage effects the output of electric heaters. The wattage output rating of the heater will not be reached due to the lower applied voltage. For example if the heater is 5000 watts at 277 volts, the current is I = W/E 5000/277 = 18 amps. The resistance of the heater is R = W/I (squared) = 5000/18 x 18 (324) = 15.43 ohms. Applying 220 volts on the same heater whose resistance is 15.43 ohms results in this new heater wattage rating. W = E (squared)/R = 220 x 220 (48400)/15.43 = 3137 watts. W = watts, I = amperage, R = resistance in ohms and E = voltage.


What would the voltage be in a DC circuit if there were a current flow of 6 A and a resistance of 8 ohms?

Ohms Law! E=IR Voltage equals current times resistance. Get out the old calculator...


What is the current when the voltage is 18 volts and the resistance is 6 ohms?

V=i*r=2*6=12v


What is the total resistance of three resistors in parallel with values of 2 ohms 8 ohms and 14 ohms?

Current, by Ohm's Law, is voltage divided by resistance, so, 18 volts divided by 2 ohms is 9 amperes.


400 volts x 45 amps?

Multiplying 400 volts by 45 amps would give you a power output of 18000 watts, which is equivalent to 18 kilowatts (kW).


What is the equivalent of 36 amps at 12 volts at 24 volts?

36 is to 12 as 18 is to 24.


What is the maximum amperage that an 18 gauge wire can handle at 12 volts?

An 18 gauge wire can handle a maximum amperage of approximately 16.5 amps at 12 volts.
