It is not possible to answer you question, because volts and watts are not comparable. You question would be like asking, "Is 700 pounds heavier than 14 gallons?"
Watts are a measurement of power. Volts are a measure of electrical potential. Comparing watts to voltage is incorrect.
If your circuit has 14 volts and is drawing 50 amps of current you have a total power of 700 watts.

How do you calculate amperage when given the values of watts and volts?
With an instrument called a multimeter. The single meter incorporates within it a volt meter, an ohm meter and an amp meter. For higher amperages a clamp on amp meter is recommended as the circuit does not have to be opened to take a reading.
What are the running watts compared to the starting watts?
When you first turn on a motor it is starting from a static position and more current is required to get the motor up to speed (Starting current) than to keep it running (running current). Since watts equals amps times voltage you can see the difference in wattage is related to current. If you look at watts as work being done it is obvious that it requires more work to get the motor running than to keep it running.
How many amps does a 12 volt 600 watt transformer use at 120 volts?
A transformer does not use, it transforms voltage from one value to another. The output amperage is governed by the connected load. If the load wattage is higher than the wattage rating of the transformer then either the primary or secondary fuse will blow or the transformer will burn up if the fusing is of the wrong sizing. The maximum primary amperage can be found by using the following equation, Amps = Watts/Volts, A = W/E = 600/120 = 5 amps. The same equation is used for the calculating the maximum secondary amperage, A = W/E = 600/12 = 50 amps.
How many amps is needed to run 3200 watts?
Watts = Amps x Volts x Power Factor For a motor the Power Factor is less than 1 and might typically be about .75. For a resistive load like a toaster PF = 1. If you know the Voltage and PF and know the wattage you can calculate amps. Amps = Watts / (Volts x PF)
How many watts is 8 amps?
It's 120 x 8 for things with a power factor of 1, like electric heaters, irons or incandescent bulbs. If the item connected has a power factor less than 1, like electric motors, televisions, computers or CFL bulbs, you have to multiply by the power factor. <<>> The formula you are looking for is Watts = Amps x Volts.
Is 120volts more than 60watts?
They're different things. Watts are volts times current.
Single phase 220 volts 2.6 kW how many amps?
You cannot convert 2.6 kw to amps with that information only. In order to convert watts to amps, you also need to know either current or voltage. This is because watts is volts times amps, and volts is current times resistance
What is formula for calculating watts into volts?
Watts are used to measure power, whereas volts are used to measure potential difference. These are two different quantities, and you cannot convert one into another any more than you can convert kilometres to kilograms.
How many watts can a 30 amp service deliver?
There is insufficient information to answer the question. Volts * Amps = Watts. If one assumes 240 Volts * 30 Amps you would have 7200 Watts (peak) available. But don't ever plan to use that amount of current for anything more than a few seconds.
380volt 266KW how many amps?
volts = watts divided by amps amps = watts divided by volts watts = amps times volts so 266,000 watts divided by 380 volts = 700 amps and I might also point out that whatever it is you are talking about is very dangerous and can kill you in less than a heartbeat. I'd be sure to talk with an electrician if I were you if you plan on going anywhere near that.
Will 20 amps handle 3500 watts?
No. 20 amps at 120 volts will handle a maximum of 2400 watts. And you should never continuously load a 20 amp 120 volt circuit to no more than 1920 watts.
How many watts can run through 12-3 wire?
Wire is rated in ampacity, You can use only 80% of the rated ampacity. Voltage and amperage are inversely proportional. So at 120 volts alternating current you safely run 1800 watts ( I have added a small safety margin). At 240 volts you can run 3600 watts. I hope this has answered you question Ampsxvolts=watts watts/volts=amps
Can an American PS3 work on 220w?
it's volts and not watts that the question needs to be asking. But the PS3 slim, which uses the least power needs more than 220 watts and it also needs power for the TV

Does a 50 amp burn more electricity than a 30 amp?
As asked, the question cannot be answered. However... if the voltage levels were the same, yes. Electrical energy is measured in Watts. To calculate Watts, use the following formula: Watts = Volts * Amps

What has more power 4 batteries of 1.5 volts each or a single battlery of 4.8 volts?
If you connect the four batteries in series, you get 1.5 x 4 = 6 volts total. So the four batteries give more volts.If the question is which alternative will deliver more power as in watts, that depends on both the batteries and the application. As an example, a 12 V car battery has higher capacity and can deliver far more watts than eight torch batteries in series for the same number of volts.But as long as the maximum current the application draws is no higher than what the smallest batteries can deliver, the power (watts) will depend only on voltage.
