How many amps does a device need?
Look on the devices nameplate. There it should have the wattage, volts, and amperage.
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).
Is there a way for coverting amps into watts in a 12 volt applacation?
Watts = amps x volts. Something pulling 10 amps at 12 volts is 120 watts
How many amps does 300 watt floodlight draw?
If the light is operating at 110 volts, and P = I x E, then I = 300/110, or 2.5 amps.
What size fuse should you use to protect a circuit carrying 6 amps?
A breaker or fuse in an electric panel is protecting the wire, outlets and switches that are part of the installed circuit. You could plug in an appliance that draws 6 amps and have a 15 A breaker protecting the circuit. The idea for protecting a specific device is to put in a fuse that blows before the current destroys the device. If your 6 Amp device would be destroyed by 6.1 amps then you want a 6 amp fuse. However, fuses aren't that precise so this would be hard to do. A rule of thumb is that the steady state current in a circuit is 80% of the over-current protection. In your case this would be 7.5 amps.
What is the device for amps?
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.
How many amps will be used in an air conditioner operating on 240 volts and rated at 1.5 kw?
Depends on power factor, but it should be about 8 Amps.

What would full load amps be on a 480volt 3 phase 90 kw electric heater be pulling 36 amps per leg?
46 amps
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.

Watts = amps x volts. Something pulling 10 amps at 12 volts is 120 watts
How many watts in a 115 volt refrigerator?
How many Amps is the fridge pulling? Multiply the Amps by the 120V circuit you're plugging into and you'll get your Watts.
What is the current of a 25 ohm heater operating at 240 V?
12 amps
What would full load amps be on a 480volt 90 kw electric heater be pulling 36 amps per leg?
90 kW on 480 volts single phase would be 187.5 amps. On 480 v 3-phase it would be 108 amps.
How many amps can a 50 amp 120 plug hold at 13 volts dc?
50 amps maximum and 40 Amps continuous. The voltage in this case doesn't enter into the equation. There are some issues to consider when DC is involved with arcing when plugging or unplugging device. You should only do this when power is off.
How many amps does 300 watt floodlight draw?
If the light is operating at 110 volts, and P = I x E, then I = 300/110, or 2.5 amps.
