A typical block heater for a car engine would be around 400-1500 watts, depending on the size and efficiency of the heater. This kind of heater is used to keep the engine warm in cold weather for easier start-ups.
To answer this question the wattage of the block heater must be stated. Amps = Watts/Volts.
100 watt
There are 1,000 watts in a kilowatt (kW).
It is 2400 million watts.
The answer is simple. The block heater is probably in the 500 - 800 watt range. If it came on new car, your dealer should be able to tell you what wattage it is. KAT'S is known brand and can be purchace at http://www.partsamerica.com/BrandCategories.aspx?MfrCode=FIV stores The 15 amp curcuit you are plugging block heater into has nothing to do with the wattage of the heater. It is only a curcuit breaker that trips if more the 1800 watt is applied to it.

1300/1500 watts
It uses 1150 watts, or 10 amps.
1150 watt, 10A
I ASSUME the block heater in a 2006 Ford Freestar would use ( 600 watts ) like my Ford Explorer 4.0 liter V6 engine does
Find the block heater and look for the nameplate on it. It will be in watts. Use the following equation to find the amperage that it draws. Amps = Watts/Volts. The voltage to use for the truck will be 12 volts.
1000 watts
The block heater on a 1995 Ford Ranger is in the engine space under the hood. The plug for the heater block is located near the front of the engine.
