How many watts is the average refrigerator rated at?

The wattage depends on the type and capacity of the fridge and will vary. The wattage should be found on a label fastened to the fridge.


How many amps is a 1000 watt microwave oven draw It is a 120 volt?

When the manufacturers refer to a 1000 watt oven they usually mean heat into food. The efficiency of ovens vary but it is quite common that a 1000 watt would consume 2000 watts from the mains. Watts = Amps X Volts so at 120V this would be 16.67 amps. But to be more accurate you need to find the actual input power of the oven.


How many watts does a 230 liter refrigerator use?

Look at the back of your fridge and find the plate that tells you how many amps it needs. Once you have Amps you multiply that number by the Volts coming out of your plug (usually 120v) and you will get Watts. So once more: Amps x Volts = Watts


900 amps is equal to how many watts?

In order to calculate wattage, you must know the value of the voltage source. Using Ohms law, you can calculate wattage by multiplying the number of volts by the number of ampers (P=I X E), where P is the power in watts, I is the current in Amperes, and E is the source voltage in Volts. So, at 240 volts, 100 amperes would represent 240V X 100A = 24,000 watts. At 120 volts, 100 amperes would represent 120V X 100A = 12,000 watts. At 12 volts, 100 amperes would represent 12V X 100A = 1200 watts. Note: This is only completely true for DC (Direct Current) or 100% resistive AC loads. If you're calculating wattage on an inductive load (such as a large tranformer or fluorescent light fixture), for any given amount of current, the actual value for wattage will always be less than that calculated amount. If you're unsure about the nature of an AC load, you can only use ohm's law as an approximation of wattage. For AC loads, you will often see the term "Volt-Amperes" used instead of "Watts" when calculating the power consumption of AC loads.


How many watts equals 80 amps at 220 volts?

That all depends on what voltage is involved, as they are all interdependant on each other. The formula is P = I V. Where:- P = Power in Watts I = Current in Amperes V = Voltage, in volts. Transpose the formula to make Amps the subject = I = P/V So, at 240volts I = 160/240 = 2/3 = 0.6666 Amps at 110v I = 160/110 = 1.45 Amps and at 12v I = 160/12 = 13.3 Amps. You can see that, to do the same amount of work, the amperage is less if you use more voltage.

Will 20 amps handle 3500 watts?

No. 20 amps at 120 volts will handle a maximum of 2400 watts. And you should never continuously load a 20 amp 120 volt circuit to no more than 1920 watts.


How do you convert watts into amperes?

To convert watts into amperes you divide the circuit voltage into the watts. Amps = Watts/Volts. <<>> Converting Watts to Amps The conversion of Watts to Amps is governed by the equation Amps = Watts/Volts For example 12 watts/12 volts = 1 amp Converting Amps to Watts The conversion of Amps to Watts is governed by the equation Watts = Amps x Volts For example 1 amp * 110 volts = 110 watts Converting Watts to Volts The conversion of Watts to Volts is governed by the equation Volts = Watts/Amps For example 100 watts/10 amps = 10 volts Converting Volts to Watts The conversion of Volts to Watts is governed by the equation Watts = Amps x Volts For example 1.5 amps * 12 volts = 18 watts Converting Volts to Amps at fixed wattage The conversion of Volts to Amps is governed by the equations Amps = Watts/Volts For example 120 watts/110 volts = 1.09 amps Converting Amps to Volts at fixed wattage The conversion of Amps to Volts is governed by the equation Volts = Watts/Amps For Example, 48 watts / 12 Amps = 4 Volts Explanation Amps are how many electrons flow past a certain point per second. Volts is a measure of how much force that each electron is under. Think of water in a hose. A gallon a minute (think amps) just dribbles out if it is under low pressure (think low voltage). But if you restrict the end of the hose, letting the pressure build up, the water can have more power (like watts), even though it is still only one gallon a minute. In fact the power can grow enormous as the pressure builds, to the point that a water knife can cut a sheet of glass. In the same manner as the voltage is increased a small amount of current can turn into a lot of watts.


Single phase 220 volts 2.6 kW how many amps?

You cannot convert 2.6 kw to amps with that information only. In order to convert watts to amps, you also need to know either current or voltage. This is because watts is volts times amps, and volts is current times resistance


Which is better a 12.5 watts speaker or a 2 watts speaker?

It depends on the environment, a 2 watt speaker is usually smaller and more portable but a 12.5 watt speaker is louder and usually has better sound quality.


How do you convert 2500kw to amps?

Watts = Amps x Volts x Power factor Hence, more information is required to answer your question.


Are electric baseboard heaters efficient?

Amps and Watts measure different things. An Amp is a measure of electrical current and a Watt is a measure of Power. Which ever device draws the higher amperage will be the one that uses more electricity! Hence the 240 watt heater draw less amps even though it uses more watts: Volts Watts/Electical Current Amps/Power example heater 240 volt draws 2000/1000 watts - but uses 8.3/4.2 amps example heater 120 volt draws 1500/750 watts - but uses 12.5/6.3 amps


What is a good wattage for trainer amps?

an amp for a beginner doesn't need to be very powerful at all. 5-15 watts should suffice if it is a solid state amplifier, if it is a tube amp than 5 watts should be more than enough.


What is more powerful 1000 watts or 12 amps?

Watts = Amps x Volts x Power FactorYou can't answer your question because watts and amps are two different things. Watts is a measure of power and amps measures current flow.Additional informationPower factor refers to the efficiency of an electrical device. Power factors can have a value of between 0 and 1, with 1 representing perfect efficiency of an electric motor or similar device. In most applications, power factor is ignored and assumed to be 1. Using the above formula, you can see that 12 amps at 1 volt would be only 12 watts, while 12 amps at 120 volts would be 1440 watts.Given this information, you should be able to calculate the answer in your circumstance.


How many amps do you need in a relay for a 2000 watt RMS 4000 peak power inverter?

Amps x volts equals watts...200 amps at 12 volts would be 2400 watts...add a few more because. the inverter efficiency is not 100 percent...


How many amps is 840watt?

Amps measure current; watts measure power; there is no way to convert between them without knowing more, such as either the voltage or the resistance.


A 14 volt lightbulb is equal to how many watts?

If you have 14 watts, you have 14 watts of power. We measure electromotive force (EMF), which is commonly called voltage, in volts. EMF (voltage) is the force that will drive electron current flow, which is measured in amps. Simply put, power is current times voltage, or, said another way, watts is amps times volts. If you have 14 watts, you could have 14 amps at 1 volt, 7 amps at 2 volts, 2 amps at 7 volts, or any other combination of current and voltage with a product of 14. You may have picked up that because watts is amps times volts, we can say that a watt is a volt-amp. Extending that thinking, 14 watts is 14 volt-amps. There is no way to write 14 watts in volts, at least not without having a bit more information.


How much can a 15W circuit breaker handle?

Answer for the US: Breakers are rated in amps, not watts. However, a 15A breaker can handle 15 amps, or about 1800 watts (using 120V), or 3600 watts (using 240V). However, this is only rated for noncontinuous loads (those not lasting for more than three hours). For continuous loads (loads lasting three hours or more), one must derate the circuit breaker by 80%. So for continuous loads, that same breaker should only have 1440 watts (using 120V), or 2880 watts (using 240V) on it.
