How many watts does an Iron need?

Answer 1

It takes 13 amps

Varies - but around 10 is a good average.

Answer 2

If you mean an ironing board iron then you have to consider its a household item. The manufacturer isn't going to make something that will be blowing fuses. The typical outlet is 110 volts and the typical fuse is 15 or 20 amps. So in order not to blow a 15 amp fuse the power used by the household item has to be less then the power that would blow the fuse. You get this maximum power by multiplying amps x volts. So this would be 15 x 110 = 1650 watts. Most high power household items (electric heater, toaster oven, microwave, iron, etc) will be 10% to 20% below this maximum, in the 1300 - 1500 watt range. Your iron probably says on it ,somewhere, what power it uses.

Answer 3

An iron typically requires around 1000 to 1800 watts of power to operate efficiently. It's recommended to check the manufacturer's specifications for the specific iron you are using.
