You don't. Othewise your local power company could charge you for 1,000,000 kilowatt hours of electricity used by your 120 volt outlet that doesn't have anything plugged into it.

How many volts in kw?

Volts and Kilowatts are different. no comparison can be drawn in respect to a straight conversion.


Led circuit for 120 volts?

There can be no answer for this without knowing how strong a resistor is involved. (Ohms)


How many kilowatts does it take to run 100 amp home?

A three wire home distribution service rated at 100 amps has a wattage capacity of;From L1 to L2 at 240 volts x 100 amps = 24000 watts or 24 kilowatts. From L1 to neutral at 120 volts x 100 amps = 12000 watts or 12 kilowatts. From L2 to neutral at 120 volts x 100 amps = 12000 watts or 12 kilowatts.


How many kilowatts in 1 volt?

There is zero kilowatts in 1 volt.The formula for this sort of thing is Watts = Amps x Volts (WAVe). All else being equal, more amps means either fewer volts or more watts, more volts is similar, more watts means more amps or more volts, and fewer of the above produces opposite results.It's like d = rt, or distance = rate X time. At 50 MPH for 1 1/2 hours, you have gone 75 miles. Faster, and you would have gone farther; slower would be shorter. Longer time would mean more distance, while less time is less distance. So the answer is...


How many kilometers per amp?

A part of it The two terms are not directly related to each other. Watts or power is the actual energy your appliances utilize to operate. Amps are the current or flow of electrons between two points. Kilowatts are watts x1000. So for example 1000 watts is one kilowatt. Watts are derived from ohms law or a part of it anyway. P is v.I or amps times volts equals watts. A ten amp breaker at 120 volts in your electrical panel has a potential of 1200 watts or 1.2 kilowatts.

Why kilo watts converted in kilo volts?

Kilowatts are never converted to kilovolts. There's no direct relationship between them, without involving other quantities in the circuit. Watts = (volts) times (amperes) Kilowatts = (kilovolts) times (amperes) Kilovolts = kilowatts/amperes

How do you convert 400 amp of three phase supply into kwh?

By knowing the voltage you could use calculate the wattage. Power equals volts times amps. Divide by 1000 to get kilowatts.


How many watts is in 19 kilowatts?

"kilo" means 1000, so 19 kilowatts = 19000 wattsIf you go to Google and type in 19 kilowatts in wattsGoogle Calculator will tell you the answer


How many 12 kw is in amps?

There are zero kilowatts in amps. A voltage value has to be supplied before an answer can be given. I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts = 12000/Volts. Alternatively, you could state the resistance, from which the amps are determined from P/R = I2.

How many amps is 50 kilowatts?

It depends on the voltage. For example if you had 120 volts (average Alternating Current supply voltage) you would have 6 kilowatts. However, if you were dealing with 12 volts (average Direct Current supply voltage) you would only have 1.4 kilowatts. Use the following equation to calculate the number of kilowatts produced from different voltages:(Voltage x 50)/1000 = # kilowatts


Would a 10 amp mcb be enough for how kilowatts?

To answer this question a voltage must be stated. Watts = Amps x Volts. For kilowatts divide by 1000.


18 ampers 3 phase 415 volts how much kilowatt?

Volts x Amps = Watts, divide with 1000 and you get kilowatts.


How much current would an applied voltage of 60 volts?

Can't tell without knowing resistance.


What is 80 percent load of 100kilowatts at 220 volts generator?

-- 80% of 100 kilowatts = 80 kilowatts-- Ignoring the power factor, 80 kilowatts is supplied from a 220-volt sourcewhen the current is 3637/11Amperes. (rounded)


How do you convert 5 volts into 12 volts?

If it is AC voltages you need to convert, you need to find a transformer to do this job. Without knowing the application it is hard to guess what you are trying to do.
