How many watt is a fridge?

That depends on the current draw of the compressor... Look for the stamped metal plate that has the model #. It should tell you the basics.Remember the electrical formula:Volts * Amps = Watts.


How many amps should a low voltage fuse be rated for?

A low voltage fuse should be rated for 30 amps.


How many amps does a Kenmore chest freezer pull?

How many amps really depends on the size of freezer...but, normally during the START cycle (that lasts about 10-seconds, from the time the compressor kicks on, until it gets going), the surge of START can take 10-12 amps, though most freezers can comfortably start in a 68-degree F room at about 8-amps. Once the compressor is running, it takes 2-3 amps to keep the compressor running. When the compressor kicks off (standard cycle is about 80% off, 20% on for a new freezer), then it draws NO POWER at all, unless it has a heated lid-seal, and then it will draw about 1-amp...possibly on a timer cycle (<100-watts). Keep in mind...that <600 Kw/h rating for the energy star is based off of a MOSTLY-OFF cycle time...if that compressor has to run a lot (because you placed it on your back deck, or in your HOT garage) then you can expect power consumptions to double, triple, etc.!


Can you plug a 120V amplifier into a regular socket in a household?

No, you can not plug a 240 volt amplifier into a 120 volt outlet. That said there are a number of step-up transformers available that will convert 110V to 220V - that's the simplest way to do it. You should make sure the transformer is rated at many times the power of your amplifier, because of inefficiencies in the amplifier. Look on your amplifier to see how many amps it uses at 220V. Double that number for going to 110 and add 20% more amps as a conversion margin. Take that number and multiply it by 110 to get the watts you need to supply. Size the transformer accordingly. eg. 5 amps @ 220V 5 amps * 2 = 10 amps 10*20% = 2 amps Total amps = 12 amps 12 amps*110 = 1320 watts In this example a transformer rated at or above the calculated wattage is recommended.


How do you determine how many amps a battery can handle under continuous conditions?

To determine how many amps a battery can handle, this information should be on the battery itself. You can also get a battery tester to determine amperage.

How do you set motor amp overload?

There are many types of overload protection these days and all are based on the FLA (full load amps) of the motor.

What is transient overload?

Sustained overload is overload that is continuous, or permanent. A resistive load is a good example. This is the kind of overload you get from simply plugging too many items into a circuit. Transient overload is overload generated by a reactive load, a momentary short circuit, or other temporary condition. An example of a reactive load is the compressor of an air conditioner starting. This kind of overload can be caused by a reactive load being added to an already moderately loaded circuit.

How many cold cranking amps should a battery have for a 1999 Avalon XLS?

How many watts does a Kenmore refrigerator use?

Watts is determined by multiplying amps (found on tag with serial number or on data plate on compressor) by volts (example 115 volts times 9 amps= 1035 watts)

How many amps should a vacuum cleaner have?

Amount of electric current flowing through the vacuum. Watts: Amps multiplied by the power voltage drawn. Most upright cleaners are 7 to 12 amps. Many canister models are 12 amps. The maximum allowable amps that can be plugged into a household outlet is 12 amps.


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 amps do you need if you have a 480 volt space heater?

The heater should have a wattage rating (very few list amps). Calculate the amps using the wattage and voltage. Amps = Watts/Volts(480).

Try reseting the computer. My 92 Deville did that on day and it turned out to be a faulty air compressor drawing to many amps..
