There is no correlation. Volts and amps are separate entities. If you liken current flow through a wire to water flow through a pipe, the voltage is the pressure in the pipe. Even if the valve is closed and no water flows, there is still pressure in the pipe. So, the voltage is like pressure. Once you turn the valve on, water flows. The amount of flow in gallons per minute is similar to amps, or current flow. So, asking what is 240 volts in amps is like asking what is 100 PSI in gpm? There is 100 PSI in the pipe. If the valve is closed, the gpm is zero. If the valve is open, the gpm might be 500. Both with 100 PSI in the pipe. There is no correlation. If you have an electrical circuit with 240 volts present, and the switch is off, the amps or current flow is zero. If you turn the switch on and the motor or lamp or whatever starts, the current will be some number greater than zero. The amount of current depends on how big the motor, lamp, or whatever is, and is not determined by the fact that 240 volts is present. Make sense?

∙ 14y agoThere are not any amps in 240 volts. They are apples and Oranges. The amperage in a circuit is determined by the wire size and the size of the overcurrent protection device, E.I., the circuit breaker or fuses.

How many amps does 500 watt halogen pull?
At 120 volts it will pull 4.166 amps. At 240 volts it will pull 2.08 amps.
How many amps will be used in an air conditioner operating on 240 volts and rated at 1.5 kw?
Depends on power factor, but it should be about 8 Amps.
How many amps will a 4300 watt generator produce?
36.6 amps maximum at 120 volts, but should not be loaded to over 29 amps. At 240 volts it will produce a maximum of 18.3 amps but never loaded to any more than 14.6 amps.
What voltage required to send a current of 4 amps through a resistance of 60ohm?
16 volts
What does 24vac 50va equal to in amps?
In 50 VA the V stands for volts and the A is for amps. Hence the formula you are looking for is 50/240 = Amps.
How many amps will a 500kw using 240 volts produce?
500,000 watts/240 volts = 2,083.34 Amps (single phase)
How many amps are produced by 10000 watts at 240 volts?
41.666 amps. Divide watts by volts.
How many amps is 6000 watts at 240 volts?
The equation that you are looking for is I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts.
5000 watts at 240 volt will draw how many amps?
To find amps if watts and volts are known, use the formula; watts / volts = amps or 5000 / 240 = 20.83 amps
How many amps does 500 watt halogen pull?
At 120 volts it will pull 4.166 amps. At 240 volts it will pull 2.08 amps.
How many amps does a 2000 watt heater draw at 240 volts on each line?
For a single phase circuit, the equation you are looking for is I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts.
How any amps in 65 Watts 240 power supply?
Watts = amps x volts, Amps = Watts/Volts, 65/240 = .27 amps or 270 milliamps
How many amps in 1000watts with240 volts?
1000 /240 = 4.17
How many watts in 10 amps 240 volts supply?
1000
How many watts is 6 amps if voltage is 240?
You need the formula: Amps * Volts = Watts But you get to do the math.
Which consumes more power 480 volts or 240 volts?
Volts isn't power. Volts times amps is power, also known as watts. Thus 480 volts at 2 amps consumes 960 watts, which is the same power usage of 240 volts at 4 amps or 120 volts at 8 Amps.
How many amps is in 6000 watts at 240 volts?
Watts divided by volts equals amps so 6000 divided by 120 = 50
