What size wire for 55kw?
Wire is sized by the amperage that it will carry. 5 kW is 5000 watts. The equation to find watts is W = Amps x Volts. The equation to find amps is Amps = Watts/Volts. As you can see a voltage is needed to calculate the amperage. Once the amperage is stated, the wire size can be given for that particular amperage.
What gauge of wire for 1500 watts?
AWG 12/2 with ground on a dedicated circuit with a 20 amp breaker. That will safely supply 1920 watts of continuous power.
What size wire do you need for 650 watts?
To answer this question a voltage needs to be stated. Wire is sized by the amount of amperage the load takes. W = Amps x Volts. Amps = 650/ volts.
What size breakers are needed for two 500 watt baseboards?
Each baseboard heater will draw a little over 4 amps at 120 volts or 2 Amps at 240 volts. The total number of baseboards on a circuit will draw the sum of these amps. Keep the load under 80% of the amperage rating of the breaker.
What gauge wire is required to run a 220 volt dryer circuit?
Wire size is based on the amperage the device draws. The wattage of the unit has to be included in the equation. Amps = Watts/Volts. Most homes in North America today are roughed in with a two conductor #10 cable. This size wire will allow a 30 amps. The electrical code allows this conductor to be only loaded up to 80% capacity so useful amperage is 30 x 80% = 24 amps. Watts = Amps x volts = 24 x 240 = 5760 watts. If your dryer's wattage is no larger that this a #10 conductor will be fine. If it is higher go to the next size wire which is a #8 rated at 40 amps. Same de rate has to be applied.
How many amps does a 2000 watt heater draw at 240 volts?
Amps * Volts = Watts So, Watts / Volts = Amps 2000 / 240 = 8.333 Amps You should run the circuit on a two pole 15 Amp breaker, using 14 AWG, 2 conductor (plus ground) wire, just so you have a little safety factor in the circuit size.
What size is a motor that reads 4.8 amps on a juicer?
If it's 120 v 4.8 amps that is about 450 watts.
Watts vs amps?
Watts= rate of using energy Amps= current flow Think of it as a bucket of water with a hole in it. Watts is the amount of water leaking from the bucket (1 gallon) Amps is the size of the hole ( it took 3 minutes for that 1 gallon to leak out of the bucket)
What minimum fuse rating is needed for a 12 volt circuit when using one 48 watt bulb?
The formula you are looking for is Watts = Amps x Volts. Amps = Watts/Volts. This comes to 4 amps load. Minimum size fuse would be 5 amps.
How much electric baseboard heat is needed for a house?
The amount of electric baseboard heat needed for a house depends on factors like the size of the house, insulation, climate, and personal preferences for room temperatures. A general estimate is that you need 10 watts per square foot, but it's best to consult with an HVAC professional to determine the right amount for your specific needs.
600 watts requires how many amps?
To calculate the amperage, you need to use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. Assuming a standard voltage of 120V, you can calculate the amperage by dividing 600 watts by 120 volts, which equals 5 amps. Therefore, 600 watts would require 5 amps of current at 120 volts.
How many amps does a beverage cooler draw?
It depends on the size, how many beverages it can cool at one time. The power (watts) and voltage should be on a plate on the back of the cooler, so divide the watts by the volts to find the amps.
How many amps should a good vacuum cleaner have?
you must divide the 1000 watt vacuum by its volts to get amps. Example: if a 1000 watt vacuum has 120volts then the vacuum gets about 8.3 amps. volts x amps = watts or watts / volts = amps
What is an ideal size for a car amplifier?
The ideal size amplifier for a car is between 80 and 100 watts, otherwise if the consumer wanted more sound or more amps the amplifier must be larger watts capacity.
What size wire for 55kw?
Wire is sized by the amperage that it will carry. 5 kW is 5000 watts. The equation to find watts is W = Amps x Volts. The equation to find amps is Amps = Watts/Volts. As you can see a voltage is needed to calculate the amperage. Once the amperage is stated, the wire size can be given for that particular amperage.
What size of wire for 10000 watts?
Cable sizing is based on load amperage. The formula you need to use is Amps = Watts/Volts. Amps = 1000/220 = 4.55 amps. A #14 copper wire with a insulation factor of 60, 75 and 90 degrees C is rated at 15, 15 and 15 amps respectively.
How many amps does a led light draw?
Depends on the size of the LED light and the voltage applied. An example is an LED 24 volt globe light that pulls 8 watts which draw 0.333333 amps. Take an LED 120 volt light bulb draws 12 watts and will pull 0.1 amps. The same bulb at 240 volts wil draw 0.05 amps. it really depends on the watts and voltage applied. An average would be about 0.1 amps.
