∙ 12y agoIf your generator is rated at 1000 watts continuous......and you are using 120V.....available amps are 1000/120 =8.3 .
Watts are the product of multiplying volts times amps.
At 120 volts it will pull 4.166 amps. At 240 volts it will pull 2.08 amps.
Volts = Amps x Resistance Therefore Amps = Volts / Resistance
Watts = Volts x Amps x Power factor For an AC Unit I am guessing that your PF = .75 so we have 115 x 9.2 x .75 = 793.5 Watts.
When you multiply amps x volts the product is watts. Using this formula W = Amps x Volts should give you your answer.
No. Your power supply must be able to supply rated voltage (12 volts) and rated current (3 amps).
To use an adapter of this sort, its rated voltage must match the rated voltage of the appliance, and its rated current must exceed that of the appliance. So, in your example, the rated voltage is too high to be used with your appliance.
The terminal strip's rating is 15 amps at 600 volts. It does not matter what the voltage is up to 600 volts, the maximum amperage allowed on the strip is 15 amps. It could be 15 amps at 12 volts or 15 amps at 600 volts or any voltage in between.
To find the amp draw, use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. In this case, 590 watts divided by 120 volts equals approximately 4.92 amps. Therefore, the unit draws around 4.92 amps when operating at its maximum power of 590 watts.
A # 14 copper conductor will be fine to carry 8 amps at 120 volts. This size conductor is rated at 15 amps.
Fuses are rated in Amps. Although the physical size of a fuse is to do with volts; the further the terminals are apart the less likelihood there is of 'sparkover' between them.
Volts, amp hours an cold cranking amps.
To calculate the amperage drawn by a 300 watt floodlight, you can use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. Assuming a standard voltage of 120V for residential lighting, the floodlight would draw approximately 2.5 amps (300W / 120V = 2.5A).
To answer this you have to know how many volts will be used. If you know the voltage then you can calculate the current by dividing voltage into wattage. For example; an electric heater rated at 700 watts when plugged into a 115 v outlet will draw 700/115 = 6.08 amps of current.
The size of the amp breaker for a 220V air conditioner will depend on the specific requirements of the air conditioner. As a general guideline, you can calculate the required amps by dividing the air conditioner's wattage by the voltage (220V). For example, if your air conditioner is rated at 5500 watts, you would need a breaker of at least 25 amps (5500 watts / 220 volts = 25 amps). It is always best to consult the manufacturer's specifications or a licensed electrician to ensure the correct size breaker is installed.
Volts times amps equals watts, so the question is - what times 480 makes 10,000, and the answer is 10,000 divided by 480. That is 10,000 divided by 500 and then increased by 4% which is 20.8 amps.
