15 amps out and 15 amps back... unless there is a ground fault, but if that's the case you should shut down the device anyway.

The answer above applies to the U.S. and Canada for 120 volt load or for a European 240V load.

Note that in North America 240V it is different: For a US or Canada 240 volt load or a balanced three-phase load, there is no current flowing in the neutral.

How many watts is 20 amps?

Twenty amps is zero watts. You are missing one value. W = Amps x Volts. &lt;&lt;&gt;&gt; It depends on the resistance and the draw current in the electrical circuit.


How many amps equal 1 circuit?

80% of the rated circuit. 10 amp circuit is 8 amps, 20 amp circuit is 16 amps, etc.


How do you find voltage when amps is known?

You don't. If you know how many Amperes in an electrical circuit and also what the total resistance in the circuit is, then EMF (Volts) = current (Amps) x resistance (in Ohms). EMF stands for Electromotive Force, and its unit of measure is the Volt.

60Hz is equal to how many amps?

The two are unrelated. HZ refers to the rate at which the electrical current cycles between positive and negative. Amps refers to the capacity for work that is available from a specific circuit.


How many lights can you have on a circuit?

15 amps at 80% = 12 amps continuous. Watts = Amps x Volts.


How do you confirm that you are not overloading an outlet?

Check the number of amps that your circuit can handle. You should not put devices with more than that many amps (total) on that circuit. Most houses are 15 amps and bathrooms 20 amps.

How many neutral wires are needed for lighting and outlets?

If they are on the same circuit you only need 1 neutral wire in the circuit.


What amps are the fuses?

Fuse SizesThe Amperage ratings [sizing] of fuses [and circuit breakers] is determined by the SIZE of the conductors [wires] in the circuit which they serve.The size of the wires is determined by the maximum expected current [measured in Amperes (Amps) or Milliamps (mA] needed by the electrical devices "fed" by the circuit.Therefore, the answer to your question is that there are many different "size" fuses which range in Amperage from thousandths of an Amp to hundreds of 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.
