By the definition of power which is (p)=IV, if a 1500 watt Electric Fireplace is plugged in a 220v AC source, the expected current will be (I)=P/v. ie 1500/220=6.8A This is when the power loss due to cable resistance is neglected.

What does 1500 watts equal in amps at 120 volts?
23.6 amps
How many ac amps is a 1500 watts?
Watts are amps x volts, so w/o the volts the question can't be answered. At 100 volts it'd be 15 amps.
How many amps does a hair dryer use with 25 volts 60 hz and 1500 watts?
Amps = Watts / (Volts x Power Factor). Now a hair dryer has a motor and a resistive heater so if we assume a PF = .8 the answer is: 1500 / 20 = 75 amps. Since it is unlikely that you have a 75 amp hair dryer you must mean 125 volts. The answer for that would be 1500 / 100 = 15 amps which is still high, but believable. If we assume a Power Factor of 1 and ignore the motor contribution to Power Factor we have 1500 / 125 = 12 amps.
How many amps does 1500 watts equal?
It all depends on the supply voltage. In the UK the supply voltage is 240V therefore the amps would be 1500w/240v = 6.25A. In the USA (with a supply of 110v) the amps would be 1500w/110v = 13.64A. All you need to remember is the formula 'amps = watts/voltage'
How many amps does a 1500 W heater pull 120 V?
A 1500 Watt heating element about 1500/110 or 13.64 Amperes from a 110V service. It is assumed the heating element is made from a resistive wire.
If a heater claims to be 1500 watts how long would it take for that heater to draw 1500 watts?
Watts is the amount of power the heater has and amps would be the draw- if it is a 120 volt heater than the amps would be 12.5 amps and it is instantaneous
What does 1500 watts equal in amps at 120 volts?
23.6 amps
2kw fire What amperage used?
"2kw fire" if this refers to an electric fireplace then you also need to know the voltage that is used. 1Kw = 1000 watts. Watts = Amps x Volts. Amps = Watts/ Volts. Amps = 2000/Volts.

250 watts is how many amps?
Depends on the voltage. AMPS X VOLTS = WATTS 250 Watts at 12 V would be about 21 Amps, while 250 watts at 120 volts would be 2.1 amps.
How much current is drawn by a120v circut containing 1500 w load?
The equation you are looking for is I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts.
Where can you find 55watts on a Chevy prizm?
Watts or Amps? Amps would be the alternator, don't know where you would find watts. Volts X Amps = Watts, for example 12 Volts X 55 Amp Alternator = 660 Watts
How many amps does a 1500 W heater pull 120 V?
A 1500 Watt heating element about 1500/110 or 13.64 Amperes from a 110V service. It is assumed the heating element is made from a resistive wire.
How many amps are in 1500 watts?
Those units describe different types of quantities, and the question is something likeasking "How many hours are in 15 gallons ?".When an electric current is consuming or dissipating 1,500 watts of power as it flowsfrom one point to another, then the number of amps of current is(1,500) divided by (the voltage between the two points) .
How many amps does a 12volt 1500 watt car amplifier draw?
volts x amps = watts so 1500watts/12.8volts=117amps
