You may as well ask, 'How many metres are there in a kilogram?'! The ampere is used to measure current, while the volt is used to measure potential difference -they are different quantities, so you can't convert one to the other.

There are no amps until you connect something to it. The 120 volts is the potential power. Once you connect or plug something in that uses the power then it will draw current. For example if you hook up a 60 watt bulb to this circuit then it will draw 0.5 amps. (Watts / Volts = Amps)

To answer this question the wattage of the load has to be known. Then the formula that you would use would be I = W/E. Amps = Watts divided by Volt. This formula holds true for both 50 and 60 Hertz.

How many amps does 320 watts equal?

On a 120 v supply 320 watts is 320/120 amps, or 2.667 amps. On a 240 v supply the current is 320/240 amps, or 1.333 amps.


How many heaters can you install with amps V?

Five amps is 600 watts on 120 v and 1200 watts on 240 v.


Can you run one 1500 watt heater on a 125V- 15A 60Hz power strip?

Yes, a 1500 watt heater operating on 120 volts has an amperage of A = W/V. Amps = Watts/Volts = 1500/120 = 12.5 amps. It is not a recommended practice to do so.


What are the amps on A Kilowatt?

Will a 220v 50hz inverter work on 120v 60hz?

No, 120 v is not enough.


How many amps would a 250 watt 120 volt deicer draw?

Use the formula A = W/V, where A is amps, W is watts and V is voltage.


1080 watts on a 120 v cuicut equals how many amps?

The formula you are looking for is I = W/E. 1080/120 = 9 amps. Less than 1. 1080/120 < 1


How many amps does 1600 watts draw at 120 volts?

Divide the 1600 w by the 120 v and the answer is 13.33 amps. If you don't know the power factor for the equipment, increase the result by 20% to 16 amps.


How many amps are in 87 watts?

On a 120 v supply 87 watts is 87/120 amps, while on a 240 v supply 87 watts is 87/240 amps. <<>> There are zero amps in 87 watts. Watts are the product of amps times volts. Without a voltage value for the following equation I = W/E, Amps = Watts/Volts, an answer can not be given.
