Wattage = voltage x amperage. Every appliance in North America is built to work at 120 V, so you have the voltage. The amperage rating is probably written in the microwaves manual if the wattage is not. Remember the amperage you put on a circuit can't be more that 80% of what the wiring is rated for in the branch circuit.

Electrical appliances typically do not have a BTU (British Thermal Unit) rating, as BTUs are primarily used to measure the energy output of heating and cooling systems, such as furnaces and air conditioners. Instead, electrical appliances are usually rated in watts or kilowatts, which indicate their power consumption. However, appliances that produce heat, like electric heaters or stoves, may have a BTU equivalent to convey their heating capacity.
Exceeding the power rating of an appliance can lead to overheating, electrical fires, or damage to the appliance. It can also trip circuit breakers or blow fuses in your home's electrical system. It is important to only use appliances within their specified power ratings to ensure safe operation.
For electrical appliances, a higher joule rating indicates better protection against power surges as it can absorb more energy. However, for personal safety, it is better to have a lower joule rating when it comes to electrical shocks.
If there is not enough power and the power trips, your appliances will lose power abruptly. This sudden loss of power can cause damage to sensitive electronics and appliances, particularly if the power surges when it returns. It is recommended to use surge protectors and Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) devices to protect your appliances in such situations.
Appliances for heating purpose have high power ratings.

because they are of high powers..

That depends entirely on the power rating of each appliance !
The maximum amperage rating for an outlet that can safely handle high-power appliances like air conditioners and refrigerators is typically 20 amps.
Any appliance should have a label attached giving its rating in Watts or kilowatts. This is for when it is running, appliances like fridges should also have a rating based on their average power consumption.

The cooker gives its power rating at 2.3 Kw, which appears similar to other kitchen appliances.
DCS Appliances typically have a good rating. On a five star rating system by Consumer Reports, DCS Appliances scores a 3.5. These are gourmet cooking appliances.
A 20-amp outlet is the maximum amperage rating that can safely handle high-power appliances like air conditioners and refrigerators.
power rating is the rate of moving energy their relationship in the amount of heat it produce it divided by time to move that much energy
