Answer for countries in Europe and other world areas running a 50 Hz supply service.

About 3 kilowatts. That's why the unusual-sounding rating of 13 amps was chosen - no portable domestic appliance that is plugged in is above 3 KW ; all high power appliances are permanently wired in, e.g. oven, shower.

Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hertz supply service.

In North America there are many appliances above 3 kW, dryer, range oven, hot water tank. These appliances all use 240 volts for their heating elements

Can 400volts heater element get supply from 230 volts?

No, a 400 volt heater element cannot be safely operated on a 230 volt supply. To avoid damaging the element and potential safety hazards, it is important to match the voltage rating of the heater element with the supply voltage.


What is the fuse rating of 600watt appliance on a 220 volt supply?

To calculate the fuse rating for a 600 watt appliance on a 220 volt supply, you can use the formula: Fuse rating = (Power/Voltage). In this case, it would be 600 watts / 220 volts, which equals approximately 2.73 amps. Therefore, you would need a 3 amp fuse for the 600 watt appliance on a 220 volt supply.


Can you hook up a 110 volt space heater into wiring that is 220 or will it burn out the heater?

No, you should not connect a 110-volt space heater to 220-volt wiring as it will likely cause the heater to burn out due to the higher voltage. You should always match the voltage requirements of the appliance to the electrical supply to prevent damage.


Can you use a 1200 amp adapter for 500 amp appliance?

Yes, the adaptor allows load currents of 1200 amps or less, and 500 amps is included in that. The voltage of a supply stays constant, the current that flows is determined by what power the appliance needs to run.


What is the amp rating for a 2kw fan heater?

To calculate the amp rating for a 2kW fan heater, divide the power rating (2000 watts) by the voltage of your electrical system. For example, in a 120V system, the amp rating would be around 16.67 amps (2000 watts / 120 volts).

How can I remove a water heater element?

To remove a water heater element, first turn off the power and water supply to the heater. Use a wrench to unscrew the element from the tank. Be cautious of any remaining water in the tank. Replace the element if necessary and securely tighten it back into place.


How can the water heater element be removed without using a socket?

To remove the water heater element without using a socket, you can use a wrench or pliers to unscrew it from the water heater. Be sure to turn off the power and water supply before attempting to remove the element.


Will 200 volt appliance work in with 240 volt supply?

It will work but not as efficient as the manufacturer designed it to. If motors are involved in the appliance they will run hotter as they will draw a higher amperage due to the lower voltage. Appliances with a wattage rating for heating elements will not reach their nameplate wattage rating.


How to Replacing a water heater element?

Turn off the power supply to the water heater. Drain the water heater to below the level of the element you want to replace. Use a wrench to unscrew and remove the old element, and then install the new element by screwing it in securely. Refill the water heater, turn the power back on, and check for leaks.


Can you use a 13v 850ma power supply in place of 13v 800ma?

Yes. The voltage is the same on each. The ma rating of the power supply is the current the supply can handle before burning up. So if your appliance is designed to work on an 800ma supply, an 850ma supply will do fine.

Can you use a 12 volt transformer on a 10 volt appliance?

Yes you can, as long as they have the nearly the same output voltage it doesn't really matter. It is even more important to check three other things:* that the amperage (current) drawn by the appliance is not greater than the rated output amperage shown on the transformer's label or rating plate;* that the transformer or power supply unit produces an output that is the same kind as that required by the appliance. For instance, if the appliance requires a dc (direct current) supply it will not work on a power supply unit producing only ac (alternating current);* if the power supply produces a dc output, be sure to check that the polarity ("+" and "-") of the power supply plug's inner and outer connections matches exactly what the appliance requires. If they are the wrong way round the appliance may not work or could even be damaged.If you have them, it is best to check the rating plates of both the original power supply unit and the other one you are thinking of using, as well as the appliance's user handbook, to see exactly what voltage (ac or dc) and what amperage is required.
