There is no correlation. Volts and amps are separate entities. If you liken current flow through a wire to water flow through a pipe, the voltage is the pressure in the pipe. Even if the valve is closed and no water flows, there is still pressure in the pipe. So, the voltage is like pressure. Once you turn the valve on, water flows. The amount of flow in gallons per minute is similar to amps, or current flow. So, asking what is 240 volts in amps is like asking what is 100 PSI in gpm? There is 100 PSI in the pipe. If the valve is closed, the gpm is zero. If the valve is open, the gpm might be 500. Both with 100 PSI in the pipe. There is no correlation. If you have an electrical circuit with 240 volts present, and the switch is off, the amps or current flow is zero. If you turn the switch on and the motor or lamp or whatever starts, the current will be some number greater than zero. The amount of current depends on how big the motor, lamp, or whatever is, and is not determined by the fact that 240 volts is present. Make sense?
