How many watts on a 40 amp circuit breaker?
about 4800 watt but should not use it 100% so to be safe 4000 watt (80%)
Can a 220V x 40W bulb bought in India used in America where supply standard is 110V x 60Hz and does the power consumed varies?
If you can use it in your lamp it will be a 20 watt bulb
How many amp hours does a 23 watt bulb use?
The formula for finding amperage is I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts. Without the value of the voltage to the bulb this question can not be answered.
How do you find kva?
k is 1000 V is volts A is amps basic algebra kVA = (V * A)/1000 120 Volt with 20 Amp would be: (120 * 20)/1000 = 2.4 kVA
Which kind a light bulb uses the least amount of energy a fluorescent lamp a halogen lamp a incandescent lamp or a heating lamp?
Fluorescent lights use far less energy than any of the others listed.
How do you use the word dimmer in a sentence?
A 40 watt bulb is dimmer than a 100 watt bulb.
Do you go by watt equivalent or actual watt usage on a halogen bulb to determine what bulb to use?
Strictly the power in watts measures how much energy is used, while the brightness is measured in lumens. Bulb packaging should carry that information. But 'equivalents' are a useful way for manufacturers to bamboozle customers, so halogens often carry an 'equivalent wattage' figure, which means the power of an ordinary old incandescent bulb of the same brightness. If you had a 100 watt old-fashioned bulb, that is replaced by a 70 watt halogen. It could also be replace by a 20 watt CFL bulb that is obviously less expensive to run and lasts much longer.
How much more money will it cost if you use 100 watt bulb then a 60 watt bulb?
Almost twice as much as 100 is almost twice 60.
Do 100-watt light bulb use energy 4 times as fast as does a 25-watt bulb?
Yes, that is what the numbers mean.
Can you use a 300 watt 220-240 watts halogen bulb on 240 watt mains?
Using a 300 watt halogen bulb on a 240 watt mains power source is not recommended, as it could potentially overload the circuit and cause damage. It's best to use a bulb that is rated for the same wattage or lower than the mains power source to ensure safety and optimal performance.
Can you use a 120 watt equivalent 80 watt actual usage in a 100 watt reptile light fixture?
A reptile light is used to generate heat for the reptile, so you must use a bulb that uses 100 watts, and an incandescent bulb is what you need.
How much energy does a nightlight use compared to a 100 watt bulb?
An incandescent nightlight bulb is either 4 watt or 7 watt. A 4 watt bulb uses 1/25th (0.04) the power of a 100 watt bulb. A 7 watt bulb uses 7/100th (0.07) the power of a 100 watt bulb. There are LED and other types of nightlights that use much less power than this. To find the energy total used multiply the power (in watts) by the total time the light is on (in hours) to get energy (in Wh). If you want kWh divide this by 1000 as a watt is 1/1000th of a kW.
Can you run a 50 watt halide bulb on a 100 watt halide ballast?
No, it is not recommended to run a 50 watt halide bulb on a 100 watt halide ballast. The ballast should match the wattage of the bulb to ensure proper operation and to avoid potential damage to the bulb and ballast. It is best to use a ballast that is rated for the wattage of the bulb being used.
Would you use less electrical energy burning a 60 watt light bulb for 900 seconds or a 100 watt light bulb for 500 seconds?
It would use less electrical energy to burn the 60 watt light bulb for 900 seconds. This is because the total energy consumed is calculated by multiplying the power (in watts) by the time (in seconds), so for the 60 watt bulb: 60 watts * 900 seconds = 54,000 watt-seconds, and for the 100 watt bulb: 100 watts * 500 seconds = 50,000 watt-seconds.
What is the different between a 100 watt bulb and a 60 watt bulb?
40 watts of consumed power. The light output may be greater with one compared to the other, but wattage alone does not give us that information. Electric heaters, for example, consume 1500 watts of power and produce almost no visible light.Check the Lumen's. That is where the difference is.Current draw and light output.A 60 watt bulb uses 60 watts of electricity (i.e. it converts 60 joules of energy per second), a 100 watt bulb converts 100 joules per second. Electrical power is measured in watts. Since a 60 watt bulb pulls less energy to it than a 100 watt bulb the 60 watt bulb will not be as bright.Resistance.Just in the amount of power used and the brightness of the bulb. The 60 watt bulb might be a bit smaller.
How much energy every second would a 100 watt light bulb use?
A 100 watt light bulb uses 100 joules of energy per second, as 1 watt is equal to 1 joule per second.
Can you use a 100 watt light energy saving bulb in an old fashion light fixture that only allows 60 watt bulbs. The energy saving bulb says it only actually uses 23 watts.?
It is generally safe to use a 100 watt energy-saving bulb that only consumes 23 watts in a fixture rated for 60 watt bulbs. The lower energy consumption of the bulb means it will not surpass the fixture's wattage limit, reducing the risk of overheating. However, to be completely sure, you can consult the manufacturer or an electrician for confirmation.
