How many 60 watt bulbs can a 15 amp handle?
A 15 amp circuit can handle approximately 8-10 60 watt bulbs. Each 60 watt bulb draws 0.5 amps of current, so you divide the circuit's amp rating (15 amps) by the current draw per bulb (0.5 amps) to get the approximate number of bulbs it can handle.
Will a 3000 watt generator power a 15 amp circular saw?
Yes, you can use up to 25 amps on a 3,000 watt generator.
Number of 70 watt lights on a 15 amp circuit?
The formula you are looking for is Watts = Amps x Volts.
Can a 1580 watt microwave be connected to a 15 amp circuit?
Yes, if the manufacturer installed a parallel blade 15 amp rating cap on the end of the cord then just plug it in. The circuit that you plug into should be a dedicated circuit (nothing else on the circuit) because the amperage will be 13 amps at 120 volts.
What times 15 equals 2400?
It is 160 times 15 = 2400
Can you run a 3200 watt oven on a 20 amp breaker?
a 220 volt, 3200 watt oven will draw under 15 amps, so yes a 2o amp breaker will work.
Will a 120 volt circuit carrying a 2200 watt load blow a 15 amp fuse?
It will draw over 18 amps and will blow a 15 amp fuse.
What size wire to run fifteen 1000 watt's lights at one time?
There is a basic formula regarding electricity:Volts * Amps = WattsIf you know any two, you can always calculate the third.Assume 1000 Watts at 120 V,120 * Amps = 15,000and from basic high school algebra,Amps = 15,000/120Amps = 125Which simply means, you shouldn't be running all 15 from the same circuit.CommentThe plural of watt is watts, not watt's!
Can you change an European 15 amp plug to 10amp plug?
What is the Process of Wiring If the device draws 15 amps (I thought Euro plugs were 16 amps or 6 amps, but no matter), you should not attempt to run it on a 10 amp supply. If the device needs less than 10 amps you could change the plug. Do please check that the smaller plug is 10 amps, not 6 amps. If you are trying to run a European device in the USA, the VOLTAGE is different (230 in Europe, 110 in USA) so the device won't run well. Don't even think of using an American device in Europe - there will be a big, expensive bang! (I know, I have seen the result).
What is an amphour to a watt?
AMPS = Watts / VoltageOnce you have the Amps figured out, an amp hour is just one amp that's been run for one hour...Or2 amps that's run for 1/2 hourOr4 amsp that's run for 15 minutes...
Can you plug a 1500 watt heater in to a regular apartment outlet?
No, a 1500 watt heater exceeds the typical 120 volt, 15 amp capacity of a regular apartment outlet. It requires a dedicated circuit with a higher amp capacity to safely operate the heater without overloading the circuit and causing a fire hazard.
What speaker wire for 300 watt amp?
There is no such thing as a watt amp. To determine wire size you need to know the current. Watts = Current x Voltage, so if you know the applied voltage to the load that consumes 300 watts you can get the answer. If we assume 120 volts as standard home voltage then current is 25 amps. If you had 240 volts it would be 12.5 amps. In general 14 AWG is 15 Amps 12 AWG is 20 Amps 10 AWG is 30 Amps
