Best Answer

An electrical device may draw amps, but there is not a device that equates to amps. Amperes are the measure of current flow in a circuit.

Can you change an European 15 amp plug to 10amp plug?

What is the Process of Wiring If the device draws 15 amps (I thought Euro plugs were 16 amps or 6 amps, but no matter), you should not attempt to run it on a 10 amp supply. If the device needs less than 10 amps you could change the plug. Do please check that the smaller plug is 10 amps, not 6 amps. If you are trying to run a European device in the USA, the VOLTAGE is different (230 in Europe, 110 in USA) so the device won't run well. Don't even think of using an American device in Europe - there will be a big, expensive bang! (I know, I have seen the result).

Can you use 2 amp charger to charge a 3 amp device?

If the device can be recharged it must have a rechargeable battery. Charging it at 2 amps instead of 3 amps would mean it takes 50% longer to charge.

That is used as a switching device. They are very common in Inverter circuits and can switch up to 1000's of amps.


The correct formula to determine how many Amps of current a device will draw is?

There is no formula it depends on the device. If the device is linear it can be ascertain but if it a non linear then it becomes quite complex


Convert Volt-amps to total amps?

To find your amps, divide your volt amps listed by the voltage you are using (and the device is rated for).Power in watts = Volts X AmpsVolts equals amps X resistance. All of these formulas can be transposed to find the missing element.If something is listed as 360 Volt amps and the voltage used is 120 volts it draws 3amps. So if the same device was used on a 240 volt circuit it would draw 1.5 amps. the power company charges for power (watts) so the volt amps are listed on the device and costs you the same regardless of the voltage used.If the same thing was designed for 12 volts it would draw 30 ampsThe current in amps is equal to the apparent power in volt-amps divided by the voltage in volts:A = VA / V


If an LED light is rated to 15 Amps what is the max voltage it can take?

A: no device in electronics is ever rated by amps but rather by power dissipation. And certainly a LED IS NOT CAPABLE TO CARRY 15 AMPS IN A NORMAL ENVIRONMENT


How many amps in four C batteries in series?

C batteries use 1.5 volts. The number of amps depends on what device it is hooked up to. An average for four C batteries would be about 16 amps.


11.6 amps equals how many watts?

11.6 amps equals zero watts. Watts is the product of amps times volts. W = A x V. As you can see voltage is needed to obtain the wattage of a device.


How calculate ups battery backup time?

The UPS should be rated in Amps per Hour. Just divide that number by the current requirements of the device connected to the UPS. Say that the UPS is rated for 10 Ampere Hours and your device draws 2 amps. You could run the device for about 5 hours.


Can you use a 2.0 amps power supply for a 1.0 amps router?

As long as the source voltage power supplies capacity is larger than the device's demand then it can be used.


Can you use a 12v dc 1A powerpack on a device that required a 12 dc 700mA?

Yes, the device will only use whatever amps it needs.
