Watts = Current x Voltage x Power Factor
If you are talking about 120 VAC and a pure resistive load (Where Power Factor = 1) then the steady state current is about 8.3 Amps. So you are okay.
If you had a conductive load with a Power Factor of .5 then the current would double. The steady state current should be no more than 80% of the breaker rating. Therefore, the steady state current should be less than or equal to 16 amps.
What else can I help you with?
Will 20 amps handle 3500 watts?
No. 20 amps at 120 volts will handle a maximum of 2400 watts. And you should never continuously load a 20 amp 120 volt circuit to no more than 1920 watts.
How many watts can a 20 amp breaker handle per hour?
2.3 kw per hour on a 110-120 volt circuit.
How many watts does 20 amps at 240 volts produce?
The unit of power is expressed in watts, and the product of current (Amps) and voltage (volts) is power there fore if you multiply the amps and the volts give watts. so 20 x 240 will give you a 4800 watts of power.
How many amps in 250watts at 12volts?
250 watts divided by 12 volts = amps or around 20 amps
An alternator provides 20 A of a peak current at 100 volts peak AC to a resistive electric heater How much heating power is delivered to the load?
Watts = Amps * Volts Watts = 20 amps * 100 Volts Watts = 2000 2,000 Watts or 2k Watts
An alternator provides 20 A of Peak current at 100 Volts Peak AC to a resistive electric heater. How much heating power is delivered to the load?
Watts = Amps * Volts Watts = 20 amps * 100 Volts Watts = 2000 2,000 Watts or 2k Watts
Can you plug a 2400 watt in a 15 amps?
No. A 120 volt 15 amp service will handle a maximum of 1,800 watts. Even a 20 amp service will only handle 2400 watts and that is at max load which you should never load on a 20 amp circuit. You will need a 30 amp 120 volt or 240 volt service for 2400 watts.
How many watts is 20 amps?
Twenty amps is zero watts. You are missing one value. W = Amps x Volts. <<>> It depends on the resistance and the draw current in the electrical circuit.
How many volts are 200 watts?
Zero. Watts is the product of Amps x Volts. As you can see an amperage value is needed. Voltage = Watts/Amps. Volts = 200/? 20 volts
What size of a ups would you need to handle 20 watts?
UPS batteries are typically rated at how many ampere hrs they can supply. IF your 20 Watt device is supplied by 120V then it draws 1/6 amps. (Watts = Amps * Volts for a resistive load). If your UPS were rated for 1 A Hr you could power your device for 6 hours.
How many volts in 2watts?
it would depend upon the current. Power (watts) = I (current in amps) x E (voltage). 2 watts = 15 amps x .133 volts 2 watts = 20 amps x .10 volt
What is the kilowatt power draw of an electric furnace that measures 20 amps and 240 volts at it's power circuit?
The kilowatt power draw of the electric furnace can be calculated using the formula: Power (kW) = Current (A) x Voltage (V) / 1000. Plugging in the values (20 A and 240 V) into the formula, we get: Power = 20 A x 240 V / 1000 = 4.8 kW. Therefore, the electric furnace has a power draw of 4.8 kilowatts.
