Does 50 amps rated at 240 volts equal 100 amps rated at 120 volts?

When you multiply amps x volts the product is watts. Using this formula W = Amps x Volts should give you your answer.


Can a device requiring 12 volts and 3 amps run with an adapter providing 12 volts and 2 amps?

No. Your power supply must be able to supply rated voltage (12 volts) and rated current (3 amps).


Can you use ac dc adapter of 12 volts and 2 amps for an appliance rated for 7.5 volts and 1.8 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.


How many amps can handle in 12 volts a 600 volts 15 amps rated terminal bar?

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.


How do I figure the amp draw of a unit that is rated max 590 watts at 120 volts?

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.


What size wire to carry 8 amps at 120 volts?

A # 14 copper conductor will be fine to carry 8 amps at 120 volts. This size conductor is rated at 15 amps.


Are fuses sized on amps and volts?

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.


How many amps does 300 watt floodlight draw?

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).


How many amps in 70 watts?

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.


What size amp breaker for a 220V air conditioner?

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.


How many amps will a 10 kw electric heater operating at 480 volts?

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.
