What else can I help you with?
How many amps would a 150 watt bulb draw in a 120v circuit?
1 amp
Can you convert a 30 amp 120V RV receptacle into a normal 120V outlet?
You can, but your circuit will be "protected" by a 30 amp breaker. So you'll have to consider the safety issues of having wiring and appliances that can draw up to 30 amps before tripping the breaker. Will the wiring and circuity support that much current without damage? If not, then switch to a 15 or 20 amp breaker.
What size breaker to use for a hand dryer its 120v 20amps?
For a 120V hand dryer with a rating of 20 amps, use a 20 amp breaker to match the device's ampacity and prevent potential overloading or overheating issues.
Can a 125V and 30 amp plug be used for a device that requires 24V and 50 amp?
No, the plug and device have different voltage and amperage requirements. Using a 125V 30 amp plug for a device that needs 24V 50 amp could damage the device and pose a safety hazard. It is important to match the electrical specifications of the plug and device for safe operation.
Can using larger wire sizes reduce amp draw?
Using larger wire sizes will not reduce amp draw. The amp draw is determined by the electrical device or load connected to the circuit, not the wire size. Larger wire sizes are used to reduce voltage drop and heat generation in the wiring, but they do not directly affect the amp draw of the circuit.

How long do amp hours last?
If you draw one amp of power for 1 hour that is an amp hour . If you have a different load eg a heater drawing 3 amp , it would be 20 minutes . Divide the hour ( 60 mintues ) by the amps you draw .
What is the difference between 12 volt 4 amp and 12 volt 5 amp battery?
The capacities of batteries are rated in amp hours. The higher the amp hour rating of a battery the longer the device connected to the battery will operate. Depending on what the connected load draw in amps is, will determine how long the connected device will operate.
Can you plug a 120v 20 amp wielder into a 240v 40 amp outlet?
No, it is not safe to plug a 120v 20 amp welder into a 240v 40 amp outlet. The voltage difference is too high and could damage the welder. It is important to match the voltage and amperage of the welder with the corresponding outlet.
Can you use a 60 amp breaker with a 50 amp overcurrent device?
A 50 amp breaker is an overcurent device.
Can you use a 1300mA universal adapter for a 200mA device?
Yes, the maximum that the adapter can deliver is 1300 mA or 1.3 amps. The maximum that the device will draw is 200 mA or .2 of an amp.
Could 12 gauge wire is used on a 20 amp circuit at 120V?
Yes.
How do you calculate amp draw for 115v 1 phase and the breaker size?
To calculate the amp draw of a device you need to use one of the following three formula. I = W/E, I = E/R, I =√W/R. Once the amperage of the circuit is found then the size of the breaker can be established.
