I don't understand the question, but if you want to make the line into a 20amp instead of 15amp, you just install a 20amp breaker, but remember,the wire must be 12ga wire
to be connected to a 20amp breaker.

∙ 12y agoA watt is a unit of power, and power is given by
P = IV
where P is power, I is current and V is voltage.
Therefore,
P = (15A)*(120V) = 1800A*V = 1800W

How many volts can you draw off of a 15amp breaker?
It's the amps that are controlled by the breaker not the volts. You can have a 600 volt 15 amp breaker, you can have a 347 volt 15 amp breaker. The breaker will trip when you exceed 15 AMPS.
What size breaker for a 1500 watt 120 volt heater?
15 amp
Can you run a 115 volt 15 amp air conditioning unit on a 110 outlet?
Residential power is usually 115 volts to 120 volts and will power a 15 amp air conditioner. If it is on a 15 amp breaker it may heat up the breaker and cause it to trip if it runs continuously in which case you would need to move it to a 20 amp circuit.A 20 amp circuit will handle 18 amps continuously without overheating the breaker and making it trip. A 15 amp circuit can handle 12 amps continuously without over heating the breaker.You cannot simply replace the 15 amp breaker with a 20 amp breaker because the 15 amp circuit uses smaller wire which might overheat.The term 110 is an old one. Most home power now is at least 115 volts.
Can you connect a 230 volt 15 amp air compressor to a 240 volt 50 25 amp generator?
Can you change 30 amp to 60 amp?
Yes, if you use a 240 volt to 480 volt step up 15 KVA transformer. This will give you 30 amps usable at 480 volts.
Can you convert an old 15 amp 125 volt electrical outlet to a household electrical outlet?
A 15 amp 125 volt outlet is a household outlet.
What gauge underground wire for 110 volt 15 amp 700 ft for a pond pump?
A #1 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% when supplying 15 amps for 700 feet on a 120 volt system.
Is 15 amp of 125 ac volt is equal to 15 amp 12 dc volt?
No. At 125 volts, the same 15 amp current results in 10 times as much power. Ohm's Law states that amps x volts = power.
Can a 240 volt receptacle go on a 15 amp circut breaker?
In North America you would need two 15 amp breakers to obtain 240 volts. The wire for a 15 amp circuit would be #14 AWG. So to answer the question, yes a 240 volt receptacle can go on a 15 amp circuit.
How many volts can you draw off of a 15amp breaker?
It's the amps that are controlled by the breaker not the volts. You can have a 600 volt 15 amp breaker, you can have a 347 volt 15 amp breaker. The breaker will trip when you exceed 15 AMPS.
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.
What size breaker for a 1500 watt 120 volt heater?
15 amp
How do you split up a 240 volt outlet for 110 power?
A 220 outlet will have one neutral (white) and two hots (black and red normally) just use the neutral and just one of the two hot wires. Careful where you do this because normal 110 breakers are 15 or 20 amp and normally 220 breakers tend to be either 30 amp for a dryer or 50 amp for a stove.
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.

Can you connect a 230 volt 15 amp air compressor to a 240 volt 50 25 amp generator?
How can you determine if you have 110 or 220 volts?
Most residential service in USA has both. In the USA 110 to 120 volts is a given and it would be very unusual not to have 220 to 240 volts. It can be easily tested at main panel with a volt meter. Or as an alternative call your power company.
