Are fuses sized on amps and volts?
Fuses are rated in Amps. Although the physical size of a fuse is to do with volts; the further the terminals are apart the less likelihood there is of 'sparkover' between them.
How many amps does a 2000 watt heater draw at 240 volts?
Amps * Volts = Watts So, Watts / Volts = Amps 2000 / 240 = 8.333 Amps You should run the circuit on a two pole 15 Amp breaker, using 14 AWG, 2 conductor (plus ground) wire, just so you have a little safety factor in the circuit size.
How many amps needed for a 3000 watt 240 volt base board heater?
A 400 watt heater can safely be used on a 15 amp circuit. The size breaker needed for a circuit is determined by the size of the wiring in that circuit. AWG #14 wire requires a 15 amp breaker. AWG # 12 wire requires a 20 amp breaker.
What wire size will carry 50 amp load for 50 feet?
This is a voltage drop question. The answer is for two voltages as none was stated. A #6 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 12.5 amps for 300 feet on a 120 volt system. A #12 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 6.25 amps for 300 feet on a 240 volt system. As you can see at 120 volts, a wire sized two sizes up will be needed. At 240 volts you can downsize one size. If it is possible to find a replacement heating element that will fit the smoker with a 240 volt rating that would be the way to go. Another method would be a transformer fed with 240 volts and have it located at the smoker end of the circuit. The minimum size of the transformer would be 1500 VA (1.5 kW). A comfortable range would be 2000 VA or 2.0 kW step down transformer.
Can the Henry Hoover 110v be converted to 240v?
The equipment itself can not be converted as it would mean rewiring the motor to operate on 240 volts. The cost factor for a rewind would be too high. The amperage draw for this type of appliance is on the high side, so using a transformer is also out of the question because of the transformer's cost. If you do decide to use a transformer it will have to be sized to the Hoover wattage. Find the wattage of the equipment by multiplying its amps times 110. This will roughly give you the size transformer that you would need if you go that route.
What size ground wire for a 30 kva transformer?
The size of grounding wire is based on the amperage output of the transformer. The voltage of the transformer needs to be stated. Without this voltage a calculation can not be made. Amps = Watts/Volts = 30000/?.
What size ground wire needed for 75 amps at 208 volts?
#8 copper
How do you size a transformer based on amperage I have a 1 KVA single phase transformer I was told I can only put 4 amps across the secondary. This transformer is 240 volt primary 120 volt secondary?
On a 1kva you have 1000 watts capacity. To fine the current the formula is I = W/E. The secondary side of the transformer has the capacity of 1000/120 = 8.3 amps. In your question you do not put the amps across the secondary you draw amps from it. Using the transformer to its maximum, without overloading it, the primary will be 4.16 amps at 240 volts and the secondary will be 8.33 at 120 volts. <<>> voltage times amps equals wattage
What size generator is needed to run a refrigerator?
Depending on size of Fridge. But AVERAGE is 12 volts for fridge, circuit necessity 15 amps 15 amps X 120 Volts=1800 watts minimum...I'm LEARNING myself
What minimum fuse rating is needed for a 12 volt circuit when using one 48 watt bulb?
The formula you are looking for is Watts = Amps x Volts. Amps = Watts/Volts. This comes to 4 amps load. Minimum size fuse would be 5 amps.
What size wire to carry 8 amps at 120 volts?
A # 14 copper conductor will be fine to carry 8 amps at 120 volts. This size conductor is rated at 15 amps.
How many output amps is a 45 kva transformer?
There is not enough information provided to answer. KVA is short for "Kilo Volt Amperes". That is, thousands of Volt Amps. In order to determine how many Amperes are flowing, you must know at what voltage it is operating. Amperes = 45,000 ÷ volts Bill Slugg
How do you solve for the size of wire when the given is kva?
The V stands for volts and A is amps. If for example you have a 12kVA device and are running off a voltage of 120 volts then Amps = 12000/120 = 100. You then use the calculated amps in a wire size table to get the correct size.
What size breakers are needed for two 500 watt baseboards?
Each baseboard heater will draw a little over 4 amps at 120 volts or 2 Amps at 240 volts. The total number of baseboards on a circuit will draw the sum of these amps. Keep the load under 80% of the amperage rating of the breaker.
What effect are there when resistance is increased in the size of the current?
Current is inversely proportional to resistance. If you double the resistance, you halve the current. Ohm's Law: Volts = Amps * Ohms Solve for Amps: Amps = Volts / Ohms
Are fuses sized on amps and volts?
Fuses are rated in Amps. Although the physical size of a fuse is to do with volts; the further the terminals are apart the less likelihood there is of 'sparkover' between them.
What size of 12v transformer will run 600watts?
Amps * Volts = Watts Amps * 12 = 600 600/12 = Amps = 50 amps You would need a reserve capacity, so I'd go somewhere between 60 or 100 Amp rated transformer. Transformers are rated in volt-amps which is usually calculated the same as watts. But the term "watts" technically does not apply to transformers. So you need a 600 volt-amp transformer or, as Redbeard has suggested, you need an 800 or 1000 volt-amp transformer. That's a lot of amps for a 12 volt system so I recommend you double check your requirements. You will need a #2 gauge wire if your requirements are correct.
