Convert Volt-amps to total amps?

To find your amps, divide your volt amps listed by the voltage you are using (and the device is rated for).Power in watts = Volts X AmpsVolts equals amps X resistance. All of these formulas can be transposed to find the missing element.If something is listed as 360 Volt amps and the voltage used is 120 volts it draws 3amps. So if the same device was used on a 240 volt circuit it would draw 1.5 amps. the power company charges for power (watts) so the volt amps are listed on the device and costs you the same regardless of the voltage used.If the same thing was designed for 12 volts it would draw 30 ampsThe current in amps is equal to the apparent power in volt-amps divided by the voltage in volts:A = VA / V


What is the difference between amps and volt-amps?

Amps (A) measure electrical current flow, while volt-amps (VA) measure apparent power in an electrical circuit, which is the combination of both real power (measured in watts) and reactive power. Essentially, amps refer to current, while volt-amps refer to total power.


Can a 5 volt 2 amp charger be used to charge a 5 volt 1.6 amp battery?

Yes, it can be used to charge that battery. The chargers rating, 2 amps, is the maximum that can be drawn from it.


12 volt 9.6va what does this mean in amps?

9.6va (or watts) divided by 12Volts = 0.8 amps


How many volts amps required a 12 volt audio radio?

To determine the amperage required by a 12-volt audio radio, you would need to know the power consumption of the radio in watts. You can then use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts to calculate the amperage.

What are transformers rated?

A transformer's capacity is rated in volt amperes(V.A). This is the product of the secondary winding's current rating and voltage rating.


What kva comes into a house?

KVA is the abbreviation for kilo-volt-amp, or kilo-watt (volts x amps = watts) Your KVA is you amps used multiplied by 240 ( number of volts in the electrical service for your house) example: if your home draws 500 amps you are consuming you would be drawing 120,000 VA or 120 KVA. That help?


Why a volt meter reads around 20VA on a socket when the switch is off that makes some fluorescent lamps in the house to flash?

Please re-phrase your question. A volt meter does not read volt amps.


How do you convert 208 volt amps to 480 volt amps?

Add another leg of 120 to a three pole breaker.


How many volt amps in 12 volt battery?

Depends on the battery. It is listed on the battery as Cold Cranking Amps (CCA).

How much can 5 amps power?

1 watt = 1 amp * 1 volt So.... In a house: 5 amps * 115 volts = 575 watts In a car: 5 amps * 12 volts = 60 watts


What is the amps of a 7.5 hp 480 volt 3 phase?

88 amps


Is it true that volt amps are the same as watts?

No, volt-amps (VA) and watts (W) are not the same. Watts measure real power in an electrical circuit, while volt-amps represent the apparent power, which includes both real power and reactive power.
