A typical home hot water heater uses 4800 watts. The circuitry connecting to the tanks is a 20 amp breaker with #12 wire for the connection. The tank draws 20 amps. W = A x V = 20 x 240 = 4800 watts. Some industrial hot water tanks can be rated at four times the size of home tanks.

How many amps does one kilowatt make 240 volts single phase?
There is one part of the question missing. To find an answer the kW of the heater must be stated. Then the equations used are, to change kW to watts, Kw/1000 = watts. Once that is found then use, I = W/E, Amps = Watts/Volts. This will give you the value in amperage of the heater.
How many watts can install in 1000 microfarad?
Zero watts can be installed in 1000 micro farads. Watts are the product of amperage times volts. Micro farads is a value used in talking about capacitance.
How many electrical appliances can 6kVA power?
Six KVA is the same as 6000 watts. As you can see, the appliances have to be totaled up to the amount of 6000 watts to see how many can be used. Each device has its own wattage on the manufactures label and it is usually different for different appliances.
Calculate the power in watts used if you exert 50 joules of work in 5 seconds?
Watts is joules per second, so 50 joules in 5 seconds is 10 watts.
How many kilo volts of transmission line used for transmitting 700 mega watts power?
It depends upon how far you need to take it.
