If you use a 20 amp breaker, you would need to use 12 AWG wire.
If you use a 15 amp breaker, you could use 14 AWG. As always, make certain that you comply with all local wiring codes.
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.
AWG 12/2 with ground on a dedicated circuit with a 20 amp breaker. That will safely supply 1920 watts of continuous power.
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.
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.
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.
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.
If it's 120 v 4.8 amps that is about 450 watts.
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)
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.
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.
A 2000 watt heater draws 8.3 amps on a 240 v supply, so the cutout should be set to 10 or 12 amps. <<>> In North America a 2000 watt baseboard heater will be fed with a two pole 15 amp breaker. A two wire cable of #14 copper will be used to connect the supply voltage to the heater.
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.
To size a generator for a pump that draws 7 amps on each leg of a 240V circuit, you would calculate the total power consumption by multiplying the current (7A) by the voltage (240V) and the number of phases (2), which equals 3360 watts. Then, choose a generator with a rated power output greater than 3360 watts to ensure it can handle the load of the pump. A generator with at least a 4000-watt rating would be a suitable choice in this scenario.
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
It depends on the voltage source. watts = voltage * voltage / resistance and amps = voltage / resistance example 1: To produce 600W from a 120V source, you need a resistor of size 120V*120V/600W = 24 Ohm. This would pull 120V/24 Ohm = 5 amps. example 2: To produce 600W from a 240V source, you need a resistor of size 240V*240V/600W = 96 Ohm. This would pull 240V/96 Ohm = 2.5 amps.
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.
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.
