This formula will give you the amperage I = kw x 1000/1.73 x E x pf (pf = power factor). Take the amperage and multiply it by 125%. This will give you the breaker size that you need.

What size breaker do you need for 9000W at 440V 3 phase delta?

50amp but if considering the breaker cannot withstand starting current you need to size the breaker up.


What breaker do you need for 9000watt load?

To determine the appropriate breaker for a 9000-watt load, you first need to calculate the current (in amperes) using the formula: Current (I) = Power (P) / Voltage (V). For a standard 240V circuit, this would be I = 9000W / 240V = 37.5A. It's recommended to use a breaker rated for 125% of the continuous load; thus, a 45A breaker would be suitable. Always consult local electrical codes and a qualified electrician for specific requirements.


What is the formula to convert amperes from 440V to 460V?

For the same power - Watts - you need to run twice as many amps at 220V than at 440V. For the same load, it'll pull half the amps at 220V than it did on 440V

How can 440V equipment operate on 220V?

440V equipment cannot operate directly on 220V. You would need a step-up transformer to increase the voltage from 220V to 440V for the equipment to function properly. Attempting to power 440V equipment with 220V without the proper transformer can damage the equipment and pose a safety risk.

How do you test a 220 volt breaker?

You will need a multimeter to check a 220 volt breaker. You should unplug appliances that go to that particular breaker. Use the multimeter at the breaker to check the voltage. If it shows 220, then the breaker is okay. If it doesn't, then the breaker is no good.


Can you use Auxiliary contact with circuit breaker?

You need to be more specific. Do you want a contact telling you if a circuit breaker is on? If that is your question, the answer depends on the model of the breaker.
