If you multiply the voltage across a load by the current drawn, the result is the power consumed. Simply put, Volts x Amps = Watts. The theoretical relationship between watts and horsepower is 720 W =1 HP. This would hold good in practice if motors or generators were 100% efficient, but none of them are. A motor that produces 1HP of mechanical work will usually consume somewhere between 750W and 1000W.

How many watts are in 3 amps?

The conversion of watts to amps at a fixed voltage is governed by the equation Amps = Watts/Volts for example 12 watts/12 volts = 1 amp for a US example, a food mixer with a 400 watt motor on a 120 volt supply 400/120 = 3.33amps, fit a 5amp fuse


How many lines can you run off 110 volts of electricity?

As many as will fit. The limit is usually determined by other factors, such as how many amps or watts are required rather than how many volts.


How much power does a toaster use?

actually, there is usually a sticker under your toaster. The amount of watts, and volts can change from different companies, and the size of toaster you have. My toaster can fit 4 pieces of toast and it uses 120 volts and 1500 watts


Should a hot water heater be put on a 30 single or 30 double amp breaker?

What governs the type of breaker is the voltage and wattage of the heater elements. If the tank is 120V then you would only use one breaker. The size of the breaker you use will depend on the watts of the element. Watts = amps x volts, Amps = Watts/ volts. Once you establish the amperage then size the wire and the breaker to fit. If the tank is 240V the same rules apply only you would use a 2 pole breaker. IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS. If you do this work yourself, always turn off the power at the breaker box/fuse panel BEFORE you attempt to do any work AND always use a meter or voltage indicatorto insure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.


What wattage of bulb do you need to fit in a socket that has 120volts?

To calculate the wattage of bulb you need, you can use the formula P = V x I where P is power in watts, V is voltage in volts, and I is current in amperes (assuming a standard voltage of 120V). If the current is not provided, you can use the typical current for a household circuit of 15A. So, for a 120V socket, with a current of 15A, the maximum wattage of bulb would be 120V x 15A = 1800 watts.


What circuit breaker to install for 10 amp 250 volt circuit?

For a 10 amp, 250 volt circuit, you should install a circuit breaker rated for at least 10 amps and 250 volts. A common option would be a single-pole, 10 amp circuit breaker designed for 240-250 volt applications. Be sure to check the specifications and compatibility with your specific electrical panel.
