You need to know the voltage and Power Factor in the equation Watts = Amps x Volts x Power Factor. Now Power Factor is equal to one for a resistance load and decreases for loads like motors. So for example if you are talking about a home portable electric heater that draws 15 Amps at 120 Volts your Watts would be 15 x 120 = 1800 watts or 1.8 kilowatts.

How many watts can be on a 15amp breaker?
At 120 volts a 15 amp breaker can be loaded to 1800 watts before it will trip. If it is a continuous load then the electrical code states that it is only allowed to be loaded to 80%. This will be 1800 x .8 = 1440 watts. If the voltage is not 120 volts use the following equation Watts = Amps x Volts. Amps being the breaker size that is to be used.

How much wattage is available in a 15amp breaker?
Wattage (power) is not stored in a breaker; in its tripped position, electrical power form the power line is disconnected. When the breaker is activated, electricity (power) flows through the breaker to the circuit in the home. Using the formula below, you can find the wattage the breaker can handle, not how much it has. Watts = Volts x Amps = 120 volts x 15 amps = 1800 watts A toaster requires 1500 watts of power, so if you are running a coffee maker which probably requires 700 watts or more and turn on you toaster, that 15 amp breaker will trip.

In the H NMR spectrum why does 1 2-dichloroethane show up as a singlet and not a triplet?
The molecule is symmetric so all protons are equivilent. Equivilent protons cannot couple with each other, so the spectrum is a singlet.
How many watts does a 18 watt floresent light bulb consume?
Divide the wattage by the voltage. If it is 120Volt then the answer is .15Amp

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.

970 kilowatts-hour is equivilent to how many watts?
970,000 watts. Not really. You are trying to express an energy in terms of a power unit. You can't express a distance in speed units and this is the same sort of thing. 970 kilowatts running for 1 hour would mean you have to pay for 970 kWH. Equally, 970 Watts running for 1000 hours is also 970KWH. It is an extremely common error.
