There are zero amps in a 6kW 3 phase heater. Amperage is the result of dividing the Watts by the Voltage. A = W/E. Without stating the voltage the heater operates on the amperage can not be calculated.

The equation you are looking for is, Amps = kW x 1000/1.73 x Volts x PF. 6000 watts is the same as 6 kW. The power factor constant to use should be .9.

How many amps does 6000 watts pull?

There are zero amps in 6600 watts. Watts are the product of amps times volts. W = A x V. To find amperage use the following equation, A = W/V, so as you can see a voltage value is needed in the equation to result in an amperage.


Can you use 10 AWG wire to run 6000 watts of light drawing 30 amps?

I'm assuming the electrical system is single phase, such as a home. If not, you need to hire someone to do the work for you. First, 6000 watts at 120v is 50 amps, so if your load is truly 6000 watts, 30 amps isn't enough. If your 6000 watts is 240v, which would draw 25 amps, then 30 amps is plenty. Ten gauge wire may not be placed an a breaker or fuse larger than 30 amps.


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.


If you use 6000 KWH a month of electricity how many watts would you have to generate?

You better have a 10,000 watt capable generator.


A generator produces 240volts at 25 amperes. If the mechanical and electrical power losses total 900 watts what is the efficiency of the generator?

Efficiency is measured as the ratio of power output to power input. In this case the power input of the generator is 240V * 25A = 6000 VA however the stated losses are 900 W so the power output is 6000 - 900 = 5100W. Then the efficiency would be 5100/6000 = 0.85 or 85% efficient.

How many amps does a 18000 watt generator supply at 240 volts?

A 18000 watt generator supplying power at 240 volts would supply 75 amps (18000 watts Γ· 240 volts = 75 amps).


What wire gauge and amperage for a 1600 watt wall heater?

1600 watts is unusually low for electric baseboard heaters! These usually are rated at about 6000 watts.Typical electric baseboard heaters operate on 220 volts thus you heater would pull about 7.3 amperes and 16 gauge wire can easily handle this.A standard 6000 watt baseboard heater pulls about 27 amperes and needs 10 gauge wire.


How powerful of an alternator and a capacitor would be needed to run a 6000W Subwoofer system in a 1999 Dodge Intrepid?

6000 watts divided by 14.2 volts (12 volt car system operates near 14.2 volts), gives you 422 amps. You would need 4 alternators rated at 110 amps each to make 6000 watts of power at 12 volts. If the system were 24 volts, you would only need 2.


How much power is flowing into your house if the voltage is 120 V and the current is 50 A?

Power is volts times amperes, so 120 V and 50 A would be 6000 watts. However, it also depends on phase angle and power factor, something that is related to reactive loads such as motors and power supplies. As a result, the power may actually be less, so it is more correct to say 6000 volt-amps. The case of 6000 watts being the same as 6000 volt-amps is only true for a purely resistive load such as a toaster.

Will a 6000 watt generator power a machine that draws 14 amps?

Yes, Power (in watts) equals voltage times current (Amps). Amps = Watts/Volts If your generator is 6000 watts that would operate a 120 volt load up to 50 amps (6000/120=50). If you are running a motor or compressor, the initial inrush of current is about 3 times higher so 14 X 3 = 42amps. Should do fine...


Is it possible to hook up a unit that is 208 volt single phase to a 240 volts 3 phase?

No, it is not possible to directly connect a unit designed for 208V single phase to a 240V 3-phase system. The voltage difference, phase difference, and wiring configurations are not compatible. It is important to match the voltage and phase requirements of the equipment for safe and proper operation.
