The power used by a 5-amp soldering iron at 120 volts can be calculated using the formula: Power (W) = Current (A) x Voltage (V). With the given values, the power would be 600 watts (5 amps x 120 volts = 600 watts).

How many amps and volts does a clothes iron use?

Depends on what the wattage the clothes iron uses!!! P=VI, so if you know the watts it uses you can you the equation to solve for volts, whiich in return can solve for I or current.i.e. Lets say it uses 1,875W at 120V standard outlet you would take W/V=I which is 15.6Amps.

Why does an electric iron have a resistance of 15 ohms?

I never measured the resistance of an electric iron, but: the 15 ohm resistance is probably required to develop a required 806 watts of power. Using Ohm's law, I(current) = E(voltage)/R(resistance), therefore I(current) =110 volts/15 ohms = 7.33 Amps (current), and, Power (watts) = E(voltage) X I(current); 110 volts X 7.33 amps = 806 watts. The iron requires that wattage to develop enough heat in the sole of the iron. Hope this helps.


What is the best soldering iron and tip to use on circuit boards?

Soldering irons come in a variety of sizes and shapes. There is a wide selection of soldering irons, soldering pencils, soldering stations and soldering guns available on market in the USA.Which soldering iron is the best soldering iron for you depends on the soldering work you are planning to do and how often you are planning on using your soldering iron. The following four factors should be taken into consideration when picking a soldering iron that will be used for soldering projects on circuit boards:1) ) type of the soldering tools2 wattage of the soldering iron3)temperature control4) tip size and shapeTypes of soldering toolsAll soldering tools can be divided in four different groups-Soldering pencils-Soldering station-Soldering rework /repair stations systems-Soldering gunsSoldering pencilsSoldering pencils are the simplest (and the cheapest) soldering tool. Soldering pencils are good only for simple do-it-yourself projects. The price range of the soldering pencils is $10-$30Soldering stationsSoldering station consists of two parts: soldering pencil and a power station. Soldering pencil is attached to a power station. Power station controls temperature of the iron tip in the wide range. It automatically keeps the iron tip at an appropriate temperature. Desired temperature of soldering iron is set with knob on the face plate of power station. Soldering station can be used for most of soldering projects. It can be used for soldering of through-hole components on circuit board as well as for soldering of very fine surface-mount components as small as 0603 and 0805. The price range of the soldering stations is $40-$150.Soldering rework /repair stations systemsSoldering rework/repair systems are complex soldering tools which are mostly used in industry or in the high-volume manufacturing facilities. This soldering systems are the most expensive soldering tools since they usually consist of power station and 4 or 5 hand pieces including soldering iron, hot-air gun, tweezers , vacuum pump which is used for the de-soldering work. The price range of the soldering systems is $250-$2500.Soldering gunsI do not recommend using soldering guns for fine soldering projects on circuit boards.The most popular brand names for soldering irons in the USA are Weller, Pace and Hakko. Aoyue soldering irons are less popular brand name in the United States then Weller or Pace. However, Aoyue soldering irons are much cheaper and they are good combination of quality and price.There is a wide selection of iron tips. Iron tips come in different shapes and sizes. For most soldering projects you can use screwdriver tip 0.062" or 0.032". For fine soldering projects and for soldering of small surface-mount components you can use conical tip 1/16".ConclusionI recommend a temperature controlled 50W soldering station. This soldering station will be excellent tool for most of soldering projects. My top recommendations are:-Weller WESD51 soldering station (digital)- Weller WES51 soldering station (analog)- Hakko FX-888 soldering station- Aoyue 2702A soldering station- Pace ST-25 soldering station

What is the characteristic of soldering iron?

A soldering iron is a hand tool used to heat and melt solder to join metal components. It typically consists of a metal tip that heats up, a handle to hold the tool, and a power source to provide the necessary heat. Soldering irons come in various sizes and wattage ratings based on the specific application they are intended for.


Why transformer rated in kva instead of kw?

KW is multiplication of KVA and power factor. Power factor is load dependent and varies as per the type of load. Hence the rating or capacity is mentioned in KVA not in KW


What is the difference between iron and soldering iron?

Soldering iron is like more thinner then iron iron is a bit thicker.A good soldering iron is like a fine pen - light and a delight to hold, it delivers heat quickly and exactly where needed and it maintains it as long as needed for bigger jobs.
