It will draw 150 watts. The capacitor is there only to increase the voltage enough to "excite" the free electrons in the gas to ignite.

Which uses more watts a 100Watt light bulb or a toaster?

That depends entirely on the toaster, but in general, most toasters use over 1,000 watts.


How do you discharge 25 Kvar capacitor in 690Volt system?

This capacitor carries a current of 25,000/690 or 36.2 amps and its impedance (reactance) is 19 ohms. The capacitance is 1/(2.pi.50.19) or 0.000167 Farad, on a 50 Hz system. The time-constant is CR so that if a 20,000 ohm resistor is placed across the capacitor the time-constant is 3.3 seconds. The voltage is reduced by 99% after 5 time-constants or in this case 17 seconds. If the discharge resistor is permanently in circuit it dissipates 690^2 / 20000 or 24 watts.


How much kvar capacitor bank installed for 2000 kva transformer?

It depends on the power factor of the load, but for a load power factor of 0.7 on a 2000 kVA transformer the real power and reactive power are both 1400 kilo (watts and VAR). So a 1400 kVAR capacitor on the load would restore the power factor to 1, allowing 2000 kW to be drawn instead of only 1400 kW.


How many watts is 7 amps?

In general, multiply the (rms) current by the (rms) voltage to get the power. If the voltage to the appliance is 120 Volts, then the power of 4.2 Amps is 504 Watts. If the voltage is 240 Volts, then 1008 Watts. Note: To be technically accurate, you must also multiply the cosine of the phase-angle between current and voltage. For any typical appliance, this is 1 and can be ignored. <<>> There are zero watts in 4.2 amps. Watts = Amps x Volts. Without a voltage stated the wattage can not be calculated.
