The total allowable load in amps on a branch circuit by Code is 80 per cent of the circuit rating. Therefore, a 20 amp circuit shouldn't be loaded over 16 amps total.

How many amp is 21 volts?

To calculate the amperage, you need to know the resistance in the circuit. Amperage is calculated using Ohm's Law: Amperage (A) = Voltage (V) / Resistance (R). Without knowing the resistance, we cannot determine the amperage.


What size wire do you need for 220 feet?

Cannot answer this question. Will need to know the voltage and amperage of the circuit. Also need to know the application i.e. is it a lighting circuit or a motor circuit?


Why does a series resonant circuit cannot be tank circuit?

A series resonant circuit has it's reactive components connected in series with each other; while the reactive components, as in a "tank" circuit, are connected in parallel with each other. The resonant series circuit has the capability of producing usable increased voltage levels across each component at resonance, while the resonant tank circuit does not. The resonant parallel, or "tank" circuit; has the dual capability of creating a situation whereby the input amperage level is reduced to minimum while, at the same time, a maximum amount of circulating amperage is created between the two reactive tank components at resonance.

How many amps is 1.5 kilowatts?

To convert kilowatts to amperes, you need to know the voltage of the circuit. Without the voltage, you cannot determine the amperage. Use the formula: Amperes = Kilowatts / Volts.


How do you increase amperage without changing voltage or resistance?

You cannot increase amperage without changing voltage or resistance. Ohm's law states that voltage is current times resistance. You cannot change one alone. Not even changing frequency in a capacitive or inductive circuit will do this, because changing frequency represents a change in reactance, which is effectively a change in resistance.

How much amps in a 3 v circuit?

This cannot be answered without knowing what size load you are connecting to the circuit. In the absence of a load, with a dead short, you will get a flow of amps at the maximum that the power supply can provide. I have no way of knowing what that is.


What is the maximum debt-to-income ratio (DTI) allowed for a construction loan?

The maximum debt-to-income ratio (DTI) allowed for a construction loan is typically around 43. This means that your total monthly debt payments cannot exceed 43 of your gross monthly income in order to qualify for the loan.


What is the electrical formula to for calculating the number of 15 amp recepticles that can be install on a 15 amp circuit?

There isn't a formula, but the general rule is that you allow for 1 amp per outlet and you load the circuit to 80% of maximum. For a 15 Amp circuit you can have a maximum of 12 outlets.


What type of circuit cannot conduct an electric current?

An open circuit.
