What size generator do you need to move a 30 hp electric motor?
A 5 kW generator would turn it over but if the full 30 hp of mechanical power is needed, that would require about 30 kW of electric power from the generator.
What is the calculated load for an electric range rated at 16 kw?
a: there is no calculated load for the range. This 16 kw is the maximum that this particular range can safely use any thing less is OK.
How many kw are required to run 200 hp electric motor?
200 hp requires about 149kW
Do you need an electric water heater when you have a oil fired boiler with a summer winter hookup?
I would look up your boiler specs or maybe contact that boiler brand and they would be able to help you because your question can be for many different situations.
How much amperage does a gas clothes dryer draw?
Check the nameplate rating on the door or door frame of your washer, it should tell you the amp rating or the kw rating of the machine. If it only has the KW rating of the machine, simply divide the KW rating by the voltage of the receptacle and it'll give you the current (ampere) rating. Typically, a modern washing machine will draw approximately 7-12 amps. However, anticipate a higher amperage when starting the machine as the machine will draw 1.5X the rated current to start the machine (starting current). Regardless of the amp rating, the NFPA-70 (National Electrical Code) requiresa 20 Amp fuse or circuit breaker; and the circuit for the washing machine must be on its own, dedicated circuit.
