How many watts of electric on a 13 amp fuse 240 volts?

You need the formula: Amps * Volts = Watts But you get to do the math.


Can you use 20 watts or 30 watts in a fuse?

No, watts are a measure of power while fuses are rated in amperes (amps). To determine the fuse rating, you need to calculate the current in amps by dividing the power in watts by the voltage. Then, choose a fuse that is rated equal to or slightly higher than the calculated current in amps.


Is a motor that uses 17 amps to much on 20 amp fuse?

yes for continuous duty it must be at least 10% larger than the normal load they usually get you on water heaters that take 28 amps need to put those on a 40A with #8 wire not good on the 30A now if a motor rated fuse and nothing else will ever be on the circuit you can probably be correct with a 17 amp fuse and that is suitable for all the motor overload and locked rotor protection and it will provide 80 amps for starting


What is the fuse rating of 600watt appliance on a 220 volt supply?

To calculate the fuse rating for a 600 watt appliance on a 220 volt supply, you can use the formula: Fuse rating = (Power/Voltage). In this case, it would be 600 watts / 220 volts, which equals approximately 2.73 amps. Therefore, you would need a 3 amp fuse for the 600 watt appliance on a 220 volt supply.


Can i use 10amp fuse for 1000 watts instant heater?

There are zero amps in 1000 watts. Watts are the product of amps x volts or I = W/E, watts divided by voltage. As you can see, that if no voltage is stated no amperage can be given. Once you find the voltage of the heater then use the following equation, Amps = Watts/Volts to find the current draw of the 1000 watt heater.

I'm instaling headrest TVs and i need to find a 12 Volt wire coming from the fuse box. But everything is in Amps. How do i find it?

All the wires coming out of the fuse box of your car are 12 volt. You need to put it on a fuse that has at least the minimum amperage that your TV calls for. I'm going to guess it will need at least 10 amps.

Which fuse do you need to change to get your dash lights to work?

It depends greatly on your car. There should be a diagram on the fuse box, if none then check all fuses and replace with a fuse of the same amps.


What is the difference between a 3 amp fuse and a 13 amp fuse?

The difference between fuses is the current that they are designed to support. A fuse is intended as a safety measure to protect against overload. A 3 amp fuse should burn out if more than 3 amps is run through it, with some allowance for standard variance. A 13 amp fuse would burn out with greater than 13 amps. It is always a bad idea to use a fuse bigger than you need, because if your component is designed for a 3 amp fuse and you use a 13 amp fuse, there is a good chance you could damage your component with too much amperage because the fuse would not burn out at 3 amps, as was intended.


What gauge wire do you need for 12 volts at 4.2 amps in my car for a light H11 Light bulb?

Almost any size wire will handle the 4.2 amps. BUT...as with any wiring, you must look at the over current device to determine the proper size. You need to determine which fuse in the fuse panel protects that circuit and use a wire that is appropriate for that size fuse.


Can a 15 amp fuse handle a 115volt welder?

No, you would need at least 20 amps. But the fuse must match the wiring. A 20 amp fuse will require the use of AWG # 12 wire.


What fuse do you need to run a 200 watt bulb with 230V?

The formula you are looking for is Amps = Watts divided by Volts. Once you find the amperage you can decide as to the size of a fuse you should use. Remember that fusing protects the conductors of the circuit and not the load of the circuit. A #14 wire is rated at 15 amps and can legally be loaded only to 12 amps.


How many amps are needed to weld quarter inch steel?

Well its not only the thikness of steel, but also the size of rod. Using the right size rods it should work with 120 amps. A good way to tell is if it is stiking a lot, you need more amps. If it is splatering to much or burning holes, then it is to much amps. Now if you are welding fine, but your rods are heating up 1 or 2 inches up, then you're rods are to small. Also if you don't have enough amps, you can heat the metal with a torch to help.
