Power transmission lines by their nature have to carry power long distances. Since there is a voltage drop involved, the voltage is increased at the source so that the loss in the transmission lines still allow usable power to be delivered at the user location. The higher voltage is reduced by a transformer near your home to the standard 120 to 240 VAC.

Your question doesn't actually make any sense. Kilowatts aren't converted to kilovolts during transmission!

How many watt in amp?

It's watts divided by volts equals amps. Example: 1200 watts at 120 volts is 10 amps. To get the watts if you know the amps, multiply the amps times the volts. 10 amps at 120 volts is 1200 watts.


Why kilo watts converted in kilo volts?

Kilowatts are never converted to kilovolts. There's no direct relationship between them, without involving other quantities in the circuit. Watts = (volts) times (amperes) Kilowatts = (kilovolts) times (amperes) Kilovolts = kilowatts/amperes


Is 17 watts 120 volts?

No. Watts = Volts x Amps Watts does not directly convert to volts.


37.5 amps converted in watts?

To convert amps to watts, you also need the voltage. The formula to calculate power in watts is Watts = Amps x Volts. If the voltage is 120V, then 37.5A would be equivalent to 4500W (37.5A x 120V = 4500W).


How many volts in 12 mega watts?

Volts measure electrical potential, while watts measure power. They are different units that cannot be converted directly. In order to calculate voltage, you would need to know the current (amperes) in addition to the power (watts).


How many watts are in one amp?

Power (in watts) is equal to voltage (in volts) multiplied by current (in amperes). Therefore, the number of watts in one amp depends on the voltage. For example, at 120 volts, one amp is equal to 120 watts.


How many watts in 10 amps?

Watts and amps measure different things, and they cannot be converted as asked. Watts measures power. Volts measures voltage and amps is a measure of current. The three electrical parameters are related by this formula: Power (watts) = volts times amps. If you know the voltage, then you can find the watt-to-amp ratio.


How many volts are there in 1367 watts?

volts times amps = watts


What does 1500 watts equal in amps at 120 volts?

To convert watts to amps at 120 volts, use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. For 1500 watts at 120 volts, the calculation would be: 1500 watts / 120 volts = 12.5 amps.


A low amps power source is converted into volts and powers a 60 watt light bulb what is left?

40 watts


How many volts it takes to cause a current of 1.95 amps to exist in a 200 watt lamp?

The formula to calculate the relationship between amps, volts and watts is Volts X Amps = Watts or Volts = Watts / Amps or Amps = Watts / Volts therefore; 200 Watts divided by 1.95 Amps is 102.5641 Volts.


4 volts is a many watts?

4 volts and how many amps? Watts = amps x volts. It depends on the amount of current (in Amps) flowing at 4 Volts... See Ohms Law: Watts = Volts x Amps If you have 2 Amps flowing at 4 Volts you are dissipating/consuming 8 Watts. If you have 10 Amps flowing at 4 Volts you are dissipating/consuming 40 Watts.
