If a 120 volt current is protected by a 25 amp circuit breaker What is the largest number of watts an appliance can safely use?
if its a single current its 120v X 25 amp = 3000 watts
wattage of air compressors?
The average air compressor uses only about 120v. Which is the average house socket. Thus using about 400 Watts of power.
What is the max wattage for a 120V outlet?
Power [Watts] = Voltage [Volts] * Current [Amps] These equations assume purely resistive loads, all in the ideal format, anything other than ideal will vary based on your homes wiring, the types of breakers that you use, the type of device [load] that you put on the circuit, etc. For a 20A Circuit: 120V (RMS) * 20A = 2400W (Keep in mind that this is an ideal case) For a 15A Circuit: 120V (RMS) * 15A = 1800W (Keep in mind that this is an ideal case)
How many all electric homes can be powered by a 20KW generator?
Do the math: Amps x Volts = Watts. Your house is mostly 120V and each circuit is usually 15amps (not counting large appliances).
How many watts does it take to run a heat mat?
I don't know what exactly you mean by a "heat mat", but your question is kind of backwards. You don't run an electrical device *with* watts. You run them to *produce* watts (watts of light, watts of heat, watts of sound, etc). I believe the thing you are really asking is how many amps are required to run your device. As an example, consider a "1500 Watt heater" that is made to be plugged into a typical wall outlet in your home. The voltage in the wall is 120V, and the heater will produce 1500 watts of heat when plugged into that 120V. To calculate the amps, you divide the watts by the voltage. 1500W / 120V = 12.5A
How much can a 15W circuit breaker handle?
Answer for the US: Breakers are rated in amps, not watts. However, a 15A breaker can handle 15 amps, or about 1800 watts (using 120V), or 3600 watts (using 240V). However, this is only rated for noncontinuous loads (those not lasting for more than three hours). For continuous loads (loads lasting three hours or more), one must derate the circuit breaker by 80%. So for continuous loads, that same breaker should only have 1440 watts (using 120V), or 2880 watts (using 240V) on it.
What is the wattage in the circuit?
wattage is voltage and amperage multiplied. example V/A=W or 120v x 20a=2400 watts
How many watts in a 115 volt refrigerator?
How many Amps is the fridge pulling? Multiply the Amps by the 120V circuit you're plugging into and you'll get your Watts.
If a 120 volt current is protected by a 25 amp circuit breaker What is the largest number of watts an appliance can safely use?
if its a single current its 120v X 25 amp = 3000 watts
How many watts in 120v 60Hz?
You need amps
How many ohms is a 120 volts?
"Volts" is electrical pressure applied to a circuit; whereas, "ohms" is electrical resistance to that pressure. One cannot determine ohms from voltage without knowing either the current (in "amps") or power (in "watts"). A normal 120V household circuit can handle a maximum of 20 amps, so using ohm's law of resistance = voltage / current, the minimum resistance required in a 120V household circuit would be 6 ohms. Any less than 6 ohms will cause the circuit breaker to trip.
What is the wattage of 3A 120v Electric Fan?
360 watts
How many amps in 1715 watts and 120v?
The formula you are looking for is I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts.
Is it right to connect 250V - 3A switch in the mouse circuit?
A: That would be OK ONLY if the switch is to carry 3 amps maximum meaning 120v AC or approximately 40 watts
what is the resistance of circuit with 120v and 10A?
12
