To determine the amperage of a 20 kW heater, you can use the formula: Amperage (A) = Power (W) / Voltage (V). For example, at a standard voltage of 240 volts, the amperage would be approximately 83.3 amps (20,000 W / 240 V). If the heater operates at a different voltage, simply adjust the calculation accordingly.
In order to properly size the wire per National Electric Code (NEC) standards you will need to know the amperage and the distance of the device (heater) from the source (circuit breaker panel). In order to know the amperage one would need to know the voltage since amperage changes inversely with voltage.
To calculate the amperage drawn by the heater, you can use the formula: Amperage (A) = Power (W) / (Voltage (V) * Square root of 3). In this case, the amperage drawn will be approximately 5.8 Amps.

It will increase the current since the water heater is made of a heating element and which is resistive in nature. Ohms law states that V=IR where V is the voltage, I the current and R the resistance. Now the resistance will always remain constant. Thus, when the voltage is increased, the current will also increase.
Since power = voltage * current we have current=power/voltage so 3500 watts/230 volts = about 15.218 amperes in a heater using a resistance to generate heat. This should be valid even though the "230 vac" indicates that it is an AC circuit and not a DC circuit.
The recommended amperage requirement for a tankless water heater is typically between 150 to 200 amps.

You need to mention the voltage and wattage of the device to get the right answer

To answer this question the voltage of the motor needs to be stated.
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.
To calculate the amperage draw, you can use the formula P = V x I, where P is the power in watts, V is the voltage in volts, and I is the current in amps. Given that the power is 1200 watts and voltage is 120 volts, you can rearrange the formula to solve for current. Therefore, I = P / V, so the amperage draw of the heater would be 10 amps.
