How many amps needed for a 3000 watt 240 volt base board heater?
A 400 watt heater can safely be used on a 15 amp circuit. The size breaker needed for a circuit is determined by the size of the wiring in that circuit. AWG #14 wire requires a 15 amp breaker. AWG # 12 wire requires a 20 amp breaker.
What size breaker needs to be installed for 15000 watt 240 volt heater?
15,000 watts at 240 volts will use 62.5 amps. Therefore you will need to use AWG #3 wire on a 100 amp breaker.
1500 watts equals how many volts?
Watts is a power level, not a voltage. The wattage in a circuit is defined as Volts x Amps, so you need to know the current before you can work out the voltage.
What wattage of bulb do you need to fit in a socket that has 120volts?
120 volts is a standard voltage in US for normal house hold electric outlet. , So you can buy from 0 watts to 1000 watts for 120Volts socket . However the bulb you want to buy depend on the Lamp holder , rating of the socket and where the holder is installed, how much light you need etc . Check the max Watts rating on your socket or Lamp and determine the correct Wattage bulb to use. No one can tell you what wattage bulb to use with out looking at your socket or Lamp. The formula for Watts = Volts x Amps Check out the low wattage Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs which will consume very low engergy and save money in a long run http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=cfls.pr_cfls
What size wire and breaker do you need to run a 9000max watt generator?
If it is a portable generator the breaker should be self contained within the generators panel. If the generator is a stationary standby unit a voltage has to be stated to calculate the conductor size and hence the breaker size to protect the conductor. Amps = Watts/Volts.
How many watts per second does a hair straightner need?
it uses 1500 watts per second
How many watts per second does a hair straightener need?
hair straightener uses 1500 watts
How many watts can the Kicker 08DS12L72 Dual 12 in. 1500 Watts Enclosed Car Audio Subwoofer handle?
The Kicker 08DS12L72 can pump out up to 1500 Watts, but you'll need a beefy receiver for that.
How much each circuit breaker amperes do you need for 3 phase 2200 watts motor?
To answer this question the voltage of the motor must be given. Watts is the product of amps x volts. Amps = Watts/Volts. Once this is found the motor breaker needs to be larger to allow for the inrush start current.
How many watts per second does a toaster need?
A toaster operates typically at 800-1500 Watts. Therefore at any given moment of time the toaster will be generating this many watts while toasting.
How many watts and romex gauge is safe for a 15amp breaker?
Assuming 120 VAC in a residence maximum watts = 15 x 120 = 1800 Watts. For a continuous load you can support 1440 watts which is 80& of maximum. You need 14 AWG gauge wire.
How many amps breaker you need for a 5000 watts immersion heater?
To answer this question the voltage of the immersion heater is needed. I = W/E.
What type of Amp do I need to run the Kicker 08DS12L72 Dual 12 in. 1500 Watts Enclosed Car Audio Subwoofer?
Any amp capable of pushing up to 1500 Watts will do the trick, and shouldn't be too expensive to come across.
How many amps needed for a 3000 watt 240 volt base board heater?
A 400 watt heater can safely be used on a 15 amp circuit. The size breaker needed for a circuit is determined by the size of the wiring in that circuit. AWG #14 wire requires a 15 amp breaker. AWG # 12 wire requires a 20 amp breaker.
What size breaker do you need for 5.7kw neff oven?
A breaker is sized by the wire size. The wire is sized by the amperage. The formula for amperage is I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts. As you can see with no voltage stated an answer can not be given.
What size amp circuit breaker would protect a 12kW boiler?
The breaker protects the wiring not the boiler. 12,000 watts at 240 volts will require 50 amps. So, you will need a 60 amp breaker using AWG# 6 wire on a dedicated circuit.
What size breaker needs to be installed for 15000 watt 240 volt heater?
15,000 watts at 240 volts will use 62.5 amps. Therefore you will need to use AWG #3 wire on a 100 amp breaker.
