How many amps does a 750 watt 120 volt heater draw?
To find the current in amps that a 750 watt, 120 volt heater draws, you can use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. So, 750 watts divided by 120 volts equals 6.25 amps. Therefore, the heater draws approximately 6.25 amps.
Can a 4800 watt water heater run on a double pole 15 amp breaker?
Current in amps = watts/ voltage in volts. If you have a 240 volt supply, it will draw 4800/240 = 20 amps, so no. This is a very powerful water heater, and would normally be wired into a dedicated circuit, presumably with a 30 amp breaker.
What is the amp draw of an open hot water heater element?
Check the appliance's specifications on the strip, tag or plate that is usually fixed either on the back or somewhere on the frame. On there you will find its required operating voltage and wattage that it draws.If your home has 240 volt line voltage just divide the watts by the volts for the answer.Example: a 2400 watt water heater for a 240 volt line using the formula watts / volts = amps would give you 10 amps. For a 120 volt appliance it would be 20 amps.
Can you use a 12 volt battery charger to heat water?
Yes it could be possible. There are two parameters that have to be met. You will need a 12 volt DC submersible heater. The wattage of the heater must be low enough so as not to draw more amperage than the battery charger's output can supply. The formula to use would be I = W/E. Amps = Watts/12. An example would be, for a 120 watt heater, A = 120/12 = 10 amps. If your battery charger has a higher output than 10 amp then you can make the battery charger heat water.
Can a 120 volt water heater work over a 14 gauge wire at 300 feet?
A 120-volt water heater should not be run over a 14-gauge wire at 300 feet. The voltage drop over such a long distance would be significant, potentially causing the water heater to not function properly or even become a safety hazard. It is recommended to use a larger gauge wire or locate the heater closer to the power source.
If a heater claims to be 1500 watts how long would it take for that heater to draw 1500 watts?
Watts is the amount of power the heater has and amps would be the draw- if it is a 120 volt heater than the amps would be 12.5 amps and it is instantaneous
How much current will an electric heater draw from a 110-volt line if the resistance of the heater when hot is 26.7 ohm?
4.12A. V=IR
Can you wire up a 240 volt single phase water heater to 277 volt single phase?
no
Can i run a 240 volt water heater on 120 volt?
No. A water heater requires a 240 volt connection and cannot be re-wired to run on 120 volts. There isn't enough amperage in 120 volts to power the heating rods that are inside.
Can a 4800 watt water heater run on a double pole 15 amp breaker?

A 2000 watt heater connected to a 120 volt circuit will draw a current of?
Current (amps)=Watts/Volts =2000/120 =16.75 =16.75 amps
Where would you find 24 volt system in an apartment?
Operating the thermostats and usually near the water heater or electric panel
Where can you buy a 110 volt hot water heater?
Hardware store, home improvement center, or plumbing supply house.
How many amp circuit do you need for a 110 volt 1500 watt hot water heater?
For a 1500 watt hot water heater connected to a 110 volt power source, you would need a 13.6 amp circuit. It is recommended to use a 15 amp circuit to provide some safety margin.
