Your question is a little like asking "How do you convert kilograms into kilometres per hour?"! You cannot directly convert watts into amperes, because they measure two completely-different quantities: the watt measures power, whereas the ampere measures current.

However, if you know the power developed by, say, a resistor, and the voltage across that resistor, then you could divide the power by that voltage, in order to determine how much current is passing through the resistor. Similarly, if you know the power developed by a resistor, and its value of resistance, then you could determine the current by finding the square-root of (the power divided by resistance).

The above solutions are based on two equations: P = VI and P = I2R.

The formula you are looking for is I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts.


How can you convert kw to amps?

watts = volts x amps kilowatt = 1000 watts


200 watts to amps 12v?

To convert watts to amps, you can use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. In this case, to convert 200 watts at 12 volts to amps, it would be: 200 watts / 12 volts = 16.67 amps. So, 200 watts at 12 volts is approximately 16.67 amps.


37.5 amps converted in watts?

To convert amps to watts, you also need the voltage. The formula to calculate power in watts is Watts = Amps x Volts. If the voltage is 120V, then 37.5A would be equivalent to 4500W (37.5A x 120V = 4500W).


What is 0.011 in converting watts to amperes?

To convert watts to amps a voltage value must be given. Amps = Watts/Volts. Amps = .011/Volts.


How to convert watts to amps?

divide by volts


What does 1500 watts equal in amps at 120 volts?

To convert watts to amps at 120 volts, use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. For 1500 watts at 120 volts, the calculation would be: 1500 watts / 120 volts = 12.5 amps.


Is 17 watts 120 volts?

No. Watts = Volts x Amps Watts does not directly convert to volts.


How many ac amps is a 1500 watts?

Watts are amps x volts, so w/o the volts the question can't be answered. At 100 volts it'd be 15 amps.


Amps to watts?

To convert amps to watts, you need to know the voltage of the circuit. The formula to calculate watts is: Watts = Amps x Volts. Multiply the current in amps by the voltage in volts to get the power in watts.


How many amps are a watt?

No.By which I mean: amps and watts are not just different units, they're different TYPES of units. You can't convert amps to watts without knowing the voltage (if you DO know the voltage, multiply volts by amps to get watts).
