This can vary. In the United States a wall socket/outlet is usually limited to 15 amps (amperes) at 120 volts.
Watts = Volts x Amps, so
120 x 15 = 1800
The typical US wall outlet can deliver 1800 watts
Some outlets are wired for 20 amps in which case they support 2400 watts.
NOTE: It can be more complicated than this depending on what's plugged into the outlet. A motor (like in a vacuum cleaner or refrigeratior, etc.) can take amps in that it sends back out without using. Thus, it uses less watts than the amps that flow through it. In this case since the outlet is limited by amps the watts it can deliver to such a device is less than 1800 watts.
Answer for the UKUK sockets are rated at 13 A at 230 V, so are capable of (13 x 230 = 2990 W) in nominal terms, or 3 kW in practise.
What else can I help you with?
Is electricity produced in a wall socket?
no, the electricity is produced at a power station, some distance away from the house and the voltage is transported using wires/ cables to a house and then distributed around the house using "circuits" to a wall socket,etc. hence the electricity is produced elsewhere and simply presneted at the wall socket outlet.
In North America how much voltage comes out of a normal wall socket?
In North America a nominal voltage of 110 to 120 volts comes out of a normal wall socket.
When you switch off a 3 pin power socket at the wall is it still earthed?
When you switch off a 3-pin power socket, the socket and connected devices are no longer powered, but the socket still remains earthed. The grounding connection provided by the earth pin is separate from the power supply and remains connected even when the socket is switched off.
How many watts does a 36 volt battery charger use?
Assuming 100% efficiency, a 36-volt battery charger would use 36 watts per hour to charge the battery fully. However, it's important to consider that chargers are not 100% efficient and may draw slightly more power from the wall.
How many watts does it take to run a heat mat?
I don't know what exactly you mean by a "heat mat", but your question is kind of backwards. You don't run an electrical device *with* watts. You run them to *produce* watts (watts of light, watts of heat, watts of sound, etc). I believe the thing you are really asking is how many amps are required to run your device. As an example, consider a "1500 Watt heater" that is made to be plugged into a typical wall outlet in your home. The voltage in the wall is 120V, and the heater will produce 1500 watts of heat when plugged into that 120V. To calculate the amps, you divide the watts by the voltage. 1500W / 120V = 12.5A

WHAT IS A 13 AMP COOKER?
Plugs for appliances rated between about 700 watts and 3000 watts (the maximum rating of a wall socket) should be fitted with a 13-amp fuse (coloured brown).
How many volts in a Netherlands wall socket?
220V50Hz
How many watts does wall mount fan consume?
1230w
What type of energy is a wall socket?
Electrical energy comes out of a wall socket.
What type of energy is wall socket?
Electrical energy comes out of a wall socket.
What is the process for wall socket replacement?
To replace a wall socket, first turn off the power to the circuit at the breaker box. Remove the cover plate and unscrew the socket from the wall. Disconnect the wires from the old socket and connect them to the new socket, following the same configuration. Secure the new socket to the wall and replace the cover plate. Turn the power back on and test the new socket to ensure it is working properly.
What type of energy is used for a wall socket?
Electric energy is used for a wall socket, which comes from the electrical grid and is converted into usable electricity to power devices and appliances.
How can I change a wall socket?
To change a wall socket, first turn off the power at the circuit breaker. Remove the cover plate and unscrew the old socket from the wall. Disconnect the wires and connect them to the new socket, following the color-coded instructions. Screw the new socket into place and replace the cover plate. Turn the power back on and test the socket to ensure it is working properly.
What size socket to use to remove a spark plug from a kawasaki vulcan 500?
18mm deep THIN wall socket has to be thin wall
What is OD of 30 mm socket?
Depends on if it is a standard or thin wall socket. Measure it.
In North America how much voltage comes out of a normal wall socket?
In North America a nominal voltage of 110 to 120 volts comes out of a normal wall socket.
