What amps or watts does a 120 volt diesel engineblock heater pull?
A typical 120 volt diesel engine block heater can pull around 1000-1500 watts, which would translate to approximately 8-12.5 amps. It's important to check the specifications of the specific block heater you are using to get an accurate measurement.
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.
Can you plug a 1500 watt heater in to a regular apartment outlet?
No, a 1500 watt heater exceeds the typical 120 volt, 15 amp capacity of a regular apartment outlet. It requires a dedicated circuit with a higher amp capacity to safely operate the heater without overloading the circuit and causing a fire hazard.
How many amps per leg can you pull on a 50 amp 3 phase connector?
On a 50 amp 3 phase connector, you can pull 50 amps per leg. This means that each of the three phases can carry up to 50 amps individually, resulting in a total capacity of 50 amps per leg.
How many amps are generated by a 1500 watt heater at 208 volts?
You have to be careful here. A heater will be advertised as "X" watts, but that is only true if you connect it to the voltage source it is supposed to be connected to. If you plug it into a higher or lower voltage source than intended, it will produce a different number of watts.Electric heaters are just resistors. When you run electricity through them, they get hot. If you run more electricity through that resistor, it will produce more heat. If you run less electricity through it, it will produce less heat.As an example, you can find "1500W/120V" water heater elements at the hardware store. This means that if you plug it into a 120V source, it will produce 1500W of heat, and it will pull 1500W/120V = 12.5A of current.You can calculate the resistance of the heater by taking voltage times voltage divided by watts, so this "1500W/120V" heater is really just a resistor of this many Ohms:120V * 120V / 1500W = 9.6 OhmThat Ohm value is physical property of the device. It will not change. If you were to take this heater now and plug it into a 240V supply, you can calculate the amps with voltage divided by resistance:240V / 9.6 Ohm = 25 AmpsAnd, for watts, you can take voltage times voltage divided by ohms:240V * 240V / 9.6 Ohm = 6000WSorry for the long text, but it's crucial that you understand this.If your heater is 1500W and is INTENDED to be running on 240V, you have a 38.4 Ohm resistor. Running that resistor at the lower 208V will produce only 1126W of heat and will pull just 5.4 Amps of current.However, if your heater is 1500W and is indented to be running on 120V, then you have a 9.6 Ohm resistor. You will almost certainly start a fire if you plug it into a 208V supply, because you will be pulling close to 22 Amps and producing 4500W of heat.

How many amps does a 400w power inverter pull?
Aprox 12 amps.
How many amps in a small table lamp?
A 120 volt table lamp with a 75 watt bulb will pull 0.625 amps. With a 100 watt bulb it will pull 0.833 amps. And with a modern fluorescent 13 watt bulb it will pull 0.108 amps.

How long will it take or how hard is it to replace the heater core on a 1992 1500 Chevy PU?
It IS a bit of a pain in the $#&(... You have to pull the plastic shroud that is around the heater box under the dash so that you can expose the heater core. ONLY THEN, after the heater core is exposed do you go under the hood and pull the heater hoses and the three or 4 nuts that hold the heater core in place. But the plastic shroud is the difficult part. You might want to see if you can locate a set of dagrams.
What is the ampere range value of transformer?
This typically has to do with how many amps you can safely pull from the secondary of the transformer.
