What is the amperage for a 20000 volt-amp heating unit on a 240 volt single phase circuit?

Volt amps is the same way of saying watts. This is seen in the formula Watts = Volts x Amps. Using the formula I = W/E we transpose I = 20000/240 = 83.33 amps.

How do you measure amps on a 208V single phase circuit with a clamp on amp meter?
Clamp the meter around the energized conductor that is connected to the load to be measured and read the amperage off of the dial face of the meter.
What is the formula used to determine the maximum allowable amperage for a given circuit?
There is no single 'formula' for this, as the maximum current a circuit can handle depends on the temperature the various components within that circuit can operate at, without deterioration. There are so many factors involved, such as the type of component, the type of insulation, whether it can cool naturally or whether it must be force cooled, etc. Every circuit must be considered on an individual basis.
What is the rating of circuit breaker needed for a 500kva load?
To answer this question a voltage needs to be stated and whether the load is three phase or single phase. Without the voltage the amperage can not be calculated. For single phase, Amps = kva x 1000/voltage, for three phase, Amps = kva x 1000/1.73 x voltage.
Why does electrical current flow along a single path in a series circuit and more than one path in a parallel circuit?
Because there is only a single path in series circuit and many paths in parallel circuit.
How do you increase the power output in your home?
The "power" or amperage can only be increased by changing the service entrance. This includes the service cable outside, the meter socket, the cable coming into the house, and the circuit breaker panel. By example you could go from a 100 amp service to a 200 amp service. But you need to understand the reason why you think you need to upgrade. If your main breaker is tripping you may be pulling too many amps for the entire household. This can be determined by using an amprobe. But more likely you would have an individual circuit breaker tripping. Increasing your service amperage would not help this situation. This is an overload on a single circuit. You would need to lighten the load on that circuit itself.
What type of switch would be used to control a lighting load from one control point?
In this type of situation, where there is more than one lighting circuit, a lighting contactor would be used. These types of contactors can be obtained in four and five pole configurations. Make sure that the contactor is rated for lighting loads and not motor loads. A normal switch, single pole single throw, would be used to switch the contactors on and off. A single switch could then be used to control as many contactors as you need to operate the lighting circuits.If there is just one lighting circuit, the total circuit amperage must be known, then the switch would be sized to the amperage of the circuit.
