How many watts is a 240 volt 20 amp fuse rated for with 12 gauge wire?
4800
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.
How many watts can you put on a light switch?
If we assume that you are using a common 15 Amp lighting circuit and switch and using 120 volts to power the bulbs then you need to keep the wattage at 80% of 15 amp worse case or 12 amps. Watts = amps x volts for standard incandescent bulbs. 12 x 120 = 1440 watts.
What will be out put wattage on convertion of 200 watt 12 volt DC to AC through inverter?
About 180 watts assuming a 90% conversion efficiency.
What is more powerful 1000 watts or 12 amps?
Watts = Amps x Volts x Power FactorYou can't answer your question because watts and amps are two different things. Watts is a measure of power and amps measures current flow.Additional informationPower factor refers to the efficiency of an electrical device. Power factors can have a value of between 0 and 1, with 1 representing perfect efficiency of an electric motor or similar device. In most applications, power factor is ignored and assumed to be 1. Using the above formula, you can see that 12 amps at 1 volt would be only 12 watts, while 12 amps at 120 volts would be 1440 watts.Given this information, you should be able to calculate the answer in your circumstance.
Is there a way for coverting amps into watts in a 12 volt applacation?
Watts = amps x volts. Something pulling 10 amps at 12 volts is 120 watts
Is it cheaper to run a 240 volt window air conditioner than a 120 volt widow air conditioner with same BTU?
Your electric bill is computed in kilowatt-hours. This is a measure of power over a period of time, which is a combination of volts and amps. Amperage at 240v would be half that of 120v, but obviously the voltage is double. So the net watts are the same. As a result, your net kilowatt-hours will be the same whether you use 120v or 240v.
How do you distinguish between an 80-watt and 120 watt motor for a 1986 Toyota Tercel?
On a 12 volt system the 80 watts draws 6.7 amp and the 120 watts draws 10 amps.
If a battery has 100 amp hours at 12 volts dc how many amp hours will it have with a 120 volt ac inverter connected?
12 Amps x 12 volts = 1200 watts 1200 watts / by 120 volts = 10 amps at 120 volts Answer is 10 amp hours
How many watts does my 12 volt 2 amp battery charger draw?
Volts * Amps = Watts 12 Volt * 2 amp = 24 Watts
Why cannot the secondary coil become the primary coil in a transfarmer?
It's sometimes possible to use the secondary as the primary in transformers as long as you keep the overall power (wattage) the same or lower, and the AC frequency the same. ex. A 12 volt AC @ 10 Amp transformer (120 watts), will only yield 120v AC @ 1 Amp (120 watts)
500 watts is how many amps?
The same number as 250 oranges is apples. A watt is a volt times an ampere.
Are auto electric systems 12 volt or 120 volt?
12 Volts DC
What is the watts for a starter for an 88 Toyota camery?
12 volt systems are not measured in watts...... doofus
Will a 120 volt AC to 12 volt AC adapter charge a 12 volt car battery?
No, the battery is DC not AC.
I have ten 12 volt 10 watt lights what transformer do you need?
To power ten 12 volt 10 watt lights, you would need a transformer with a total output of at least 120 volts and 100 watts.
You want to know how many watts in 1.6 AMP?
On a 12-volt system 1.6 amps is 12x1.6 watts, 19.2 watts
