A typical home hot water heater uses 4800 watts. The circuitry connecting to the tanks is a 20 amp breaker with #12 wire for the connection. The tank draws 20 amps. W = A x V = 20 x 240 = 4800 watts. Some industrial hot water tanks can be rated at four times the size of home tanks.

How many amps does one kilowatt make 240 volts single phase?
There is one part of the question missing. To find an answer the kW of the heater must be stated. Then the equations used are, to change kW to watts, Kw/1000 = watts. Once that is found then use, I = W/E, Amps = Watts/Volts. This will give you the value in amperage of the heater.
How many watts can install in 1000 microfarad?
Zero watts can be installed in 1000 micro farads. Watts are the product of amperage times volts. Micro farads is a value used in talking about capacitance.
How many electrical appliances can 6kVA power?
Six KVA is the same as 6000 watts. As you can see, the appliances have to be totaled up to the amount of 6000 watts to see how many can be used. Each device has its own wattage on the manufactures label and it is usually different for different appliances.
Calculate the power in watts used if you exert 50 joules of work in 5 seconds?
Watts is joules per second, so 50 joules in 5 seconds is 10 watts.
How many kilo volts of transmission line used for transmitting 700 mega watts power?
It depends upon how far you need to take it.
How many watts of power are used by a heater operating at 460 volts and drawing 5 amps?
The answer in watts is 460 times 5.
How many watts does a radiator use?
Do you mean how many watts are used to make hot water? It varies, but a typical home electric hot water heater consumes about 4,500 watts. Industrial hot water heaters might use 20,000 watts or more! I have a little warmer that keeps my coffee warm as I type this, it consumes about 300 watts. Of course it only heats 6 ounces of water....
How many watts does a plasma tv used when it is turned off?
It obviously varies from TV to TV, but between 0.3 and 10 watts, with newer ones taking less.
How many solar panels will be required for a solar system - four rooms - 3 solar fans - fridge - lighting - cooker - heater - mobile charger - tv and other uses?
To calculate the power used it is necessary to add up the power requirement: typical power values would be solar fans 0, fridge 20 watts average, lighting 200 watts, cooker up to 3000 watts, heater up to 3000 watts, mobile charger 3 watts, TV 150 watts. Solar panels of around 1.2 metres by 1 metre produce about 220 watts in maximum conditions, or about 15 watts out of direct sunlight. So without the heater or cooker a couple of panels should do it on a sunny day, otherwise add 15 panels for the cooker OR the heater.
What is the total energy used if an average person uses a tv computer refrigerator toaster light bulbs fan air conditioner space heater hair dryer Xbox Wii oven stove and a micowave?
TV 150 watts, computer 200 watts, laptop 40 watts, refrigerator 15 watts average, toaster 900 watts, light bulbs 15-150 watts, fan 20 watts, a/c 3000 watts, space heater 2000 watts, hair dryer 1000 watts, oven/stove 3000 watts, microwave 1000 watts. Total energy used is equal to the watts times the time. The total energy in units or kWh is the power in kilowatts times the time in hours.
What method is used to produce hot water in an electrical water heater?
There are two insulated heater elements that heat the water.
How many watts does a 12 volt water pump use?
Voltage of the pump (12) multiplied by the current draw = the watts used. This would be 12 watts if the current was 1 amp, 24 watts if the current is 2 amps, and 36 watts if the current is 3 amps, and so on...
Is it called a hot water heater or water heater?
It's because "hot-water" is a compound adjective, modifying "heater". It's not for heating water, it's for heating a house with hot water. There are many types of heaters that heat water, but only a hot-water heater is used for providing heated water for domestic use. A hydronic boiler also heats water, but it's only for use in radiators.The name "Hot Water Heater" is completely wrong for any use. There is no need to heat hot water. IT has always been "water heater". The term hot water heater has just been used for years because people don't realize the difference. It has always been WATER HEATER.The first answer is jibberish and makes no practical sense at all.
What is electric water heater which used in house?
An electric water heater in a hot tank is called an immersion heater and many of those run at 3 kW with a thermostat to control the max temperature. Power showers use a type of water heater that heats the water at the point where it is used, without a tank. They run at 6-8 kW and are also controlled by a thermostat.
How many kilowatts would a 3 foot baseboard heater use?
A base board heater could be rated at any amount of watts. Their physical size usually has no bearing on the wattage but that being said usually the smaller the physical size the lower the wattage. A three foot unit at 240 volts could be 500 watts or .5 kW. The rating of the heaters is on the back of the heater. If the heater is mounted and you want to know how many watts it is, you will have to remove the heater away from the wall to get to the nameplate. If you have access to a clamp on amp meter, the amperage reading can be multiplied by the voltage of the heater. This will give you the wattage of the device. To find kW divide the wattage of the heater by 1000. The amount that the heater uses in kW s depends on its off and on time cycle. This is referred to as kWh. This is the figure that the utility company uses, times how much they charge for a kWh, to calculate the charge to you for the power that you have used.
