In North American homes, new homes are prewired to use a 40 amp circuit. A 40 amp two pole breaker in the distribution panel protects a #8 three wire cable. This cable connects the 240 volt supply to the range and oven.

How many amps would a oven roaster take?

The amperage of an oven roaster typically varies based on its wattage. Most standard electric roasters operate between 800 to 1,500 watts. To calculate the current in amps, you can use the formula: Amps = Watts/Volts. For example, a 1,500-watt roaster operating on a 120-volt circuit would draw approximately 12.5 amps.


How many amps does a 5000-watt inverter draw from a 24 volt system?

A 5000-watt inverter on a 24 volt system draws approximately 208 amps (5000 watts / 24 volts = 208.33 amps). This calculation assumes 100% efficiency, so actual power draw may be slightly higher.


How many amps does a led light draw?

Depends on the size of the LED light and the voltage applied. An example is an LED 24 volt globe light that pulls 8 watts which draw 0.333333 amps. Take an LED 120 volt light bulb draws 12 watts and will pull 0.1 amps. The same bulb at 240 volts wil draw 0.05 amps. it really depends on the watts and voltage applied. An average would be about 0.1 amps.


How many amps does a 750 watt 120 volt heater draw?

To find the current in amps that a 750 watt, 120 volt heater draws, you can use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. So, 750 watts divided by 120 volts equals 6.25 amps. Therefore, the heater draws approximately 6.25 amps.


How many amps is a 1000 watt microwave oven draw It is a 120 volt?

When the manufacturers refer to a 1000 watt oven they usually mean heat into food. The efficiency of ovens vary but it is quite common that a 1000 watt would consume 2000 watts from the mains. Watts = Amps X Volts so at 120V this would be 16.67 amps. But to be more accurate you need to find the actual input power of the oven.

Can a 1000volts microwave be connected to a 15amp receptacle?

To my knowledge there is no such a thing as a 1000 volt cooking microwave oven. If you mean 1000 watt then the answer to your question is yes. W = A x V. Presuming that the 15 amp receptacle is on a 120 volt system then the amperage draw on a 1000 watt microwave oven would be A = W/V 1000/120 = 8.3 amps with 6.6 amps to spare.
