Portable heaters can use a lot of power. In fact, if you have a home from the 1950's or earlier you may need to avoid using portable heaters at all.
Five amps is 600 watts on 120 v and 1200 watts on 240 v.
A typical domestic water heater uses 3 kW. On a European 230 v system it would use 13 amps.
I = W/E. 1500/240 = 6 amps for each heater. In parallel the total connected load will be 12 amps. A #14 conductor is rated at 15 amps and de rated to 80% can carry 12 amps continuous. The breaker needed for this would be a two pole 15 amp breaker. If this is a new installation I would use a #12 conductor for the two heaters on a two pole 20 amp breaker. The conductors will run much cooler using a larger size.
Appliances that use around 13 amps include hair dryers, microwaves, and space heaters. Make sure to check the specific amperage of your appliances before use to avoid overloading circuits.
To determine if your circuit breaker can handle a 12,000 or 14,000 BTU portable AC, check the unit's power requirements, usually listed in watts on the specification label. Most portable ACs of that size require between 1,000 to 1,500 watts, which translates to about 8 to 12 amps at 120 volts. Ensure your circuit breaker is rated for at least 15 amps, but ideally, it should be 20 amps to accommodate the AC and any additional load. If you’re uncertain, consult an electrician for a thorough evaluation.

Yes amps from Infinity, Sony and many others have led's built in.

dishwashera smart person would plug it inSorry but ONLY a portable Dish washer should/can be plugged in. the ampcity demands of a built in is higher, ( due to larger heating coil in built ins) ,you need to hard wire a built in due to fact that very few plugs are rated ot 20 amps 99 % are 15 amps and so are wires leading to plugs, too often they are 14 awg as opposed to correct 12 awg for a built in.
ONKYO,Tuner/Amp, Cassette Deck, & Compact Disk changer is a brand with the build in Amps.
Remember that the breaker protects the wire size. You would have to use a #6 wire to operate the heaters. To find out how many heaters that can be connected, divide 50 by 8.5 amps.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energizedIF YOU ARE NOT REALLY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
A 3000W 110V generator can provide up to 27A.
It depends upon the accessories for an automobile. 1. car with just headlights, heater, wipers and etc. about 35-45 amps 2. car with AC added 65 amps 3. Newer computerized car with AC and etc 100 amps 4. car with all the above and a amplifier 140 amps (depending on the size of the amp) 5. Take note that a typical school bus with all the heaters and etc normally will be ok with an alternator from 100-150 amps.
But why do you want to connect them in series since this will under feed the heaters? I recommend that you connect them in parallel across the supply so that they each have 115v and thus provide good heating effect.
Yes, most radios have built in amps. They supply somewhere around 10-15 watts RMS per channel.
