Why Battery light on and gauge says charging?
your gauge only measures volts. not amps. when alternators get tired sometimes they wont produce enough amps to run the car. your computer might see this where the gauge still says 12-14 volts. basicly your running off the battery. if that doesnt work then check battery for poor cell. last call put tape over the light,lol. good luck
How many amps will a 4300 watt generator produce?
36.6 amps maximum at 120 volts, but should not be loaded to over 29 amps. At 240 volts it will produce a maximum of 18.3 amps but never loaded to any more than 14.6 amps.
What gauge of wire is needed for a baseboard heater 1000 watt 240 Volt 4.2 Amp?
I would use #12. THHN #12 is rated for 30 amps. <<>> The minimum size wire that you can use, to save overhead costs, is #14 wire which is rated at 15 amps. Home wiring cable has a rating of 300 volts. Also the above answer is wrong, #12 is only rated at 20 amps. If you have doubts about an answer check out the answerer's bio by clicking on their name.
How do you determine amperage service for a 240V single-phase three-wire system what formula do i follow?
You have to know the maximum amps you wish to deliver or draw of the device or devices you wish to power. There are charts on the internet for wire gauges and distance that you can follow. For example: A 12 gauge wire will handle 20 amps safely for runs up to 100 feet. You go down 1 gauge for runs over 100 feet. So if you are running 175 feet at 20 amps you should use 10 gauge so voltage drops don't occur. Voltage has no effect on rated current output other than selecting a wire or cable that is rated for the working voltages. 20 amps at 240 volts is the same as 20 amps at 120 volts. As long as the wire is rated at 240 volts, it will carry 20 amps at voltages less than 240 the same.
How much energy is 60 volts and 2 amps?
Power is calculated by multiplying Volts x Amps, hence 60 Volts and 2 Amps will give 120 Watts. Energy is Power over a length of time. So if you use this device for say 2 hours you will consume 240 Watt Hours of Energy.
Does an electric stove burner use 220 or 110?
The burners will most likely be 240V. By keeping the range at 240 volts it will use less amps that at 120V. Say a range and oven is rated at 9000 watts. Watts = amps x volts. 9000/240V = 37.5 amps. 9000/120V = 75 amps. As you can see at 120 volts the amperage is double over 240 volts. You would need a 100 amp breaker and #4 wire to accomodate the range on 120 volts.
What is the cable size for 90 kw motor?
Depends upon the voltage. The formula for amperage or (wire size) is Watts / Voltage. If the voltage is 220 volts, then the amperage would be over 400 amps. This would require a large wire size to run it. If it were 440 volts, the amperage would be 1/2 or 200 amps. That would require a smaller wire size. As the voltage goes up, the amperage goes down. At a thousand volts, the amperage would only be 90 amps. A wire gauge or size of a #2 would carry 90 amps for small distances.
Why does an alternator not over charge the battery?
Alternators have a built in regulator that keeps the voltage at about 13.5 Volts. Depending on the load, the alternator may be putting out anywhere from just a few amps to full capacity of over 100 amps for some alternators. Batteries charge at anything over 12 volts and handle about 14 volts without any problem. You start causing problems for your battery and other parts of your electrical system when the voltage goes over about 15 volts. But then, if your regulator is working right that should never happen. The current (amps) of an alternator does not vary. if it is a 100 amp alternator, the amperage coming out is always 100 amps.
What size breakers are needed for two 500 watt baseboards?
Each baseboard heater will draw a little over 4 amps at 120 volts or 2 Amps at 240 volts. The total number of baseboards on a circuit will draw the sum of these amps. Keep the load under 80% of the amperage rating of the breaker.
How many amps equals 1440 watts at 120 Volts?
Remember this simple equation. amps x volts = watts so 1.4 amps x 120 volts = 168 watts
How do you work out amps in an electrical circuit?
Current symbol I =voltage/resesistance I=V/R for direct current (dc) and for a resistive load in alternating current (ac)
How many volts does a battery need to start a engine?
a battery should be reading 12 or 13 volts at full charge you would need it over 10 volts but its hypothetical as it depends on the engine size10 To add it's not the voltage that turns the starter motor it is the amount of what is called cranking amps or cold cranking amps cca which refers to the amount of amps when 32 degrees Fahrenheit or up. If you have below the specific amount of amps for your starter it will click, turn but very sold, or do nothing. A 12 volt battery typically needs 400+ amps to start the car. While 5 volts means your battery is dead having 12 volts does not mean your car will start.
