Watts is a unit power and it is found muliplying Volts x Amperes, so how many amps to 230 watts depends on the voltage. If it is line voltage 120 V then 230 divided by 120 the result is a little less than 2 Amps RomeoTango

This depends on the application - fuses should be sized for the maximum rating of the wiring installed, or above maximum expected load current (whichever is more limiting, usually wiring is chosen to match load so they are equivalent), not the voltage level (since they operate on current, not voltage).

To find the answer we need to know the resistance of the circuit. It follows:

I=V/R

where:

I= current in amps(A)

V= voltage in volts(V)

R= resistance in ohms(Ω)

To know the current of the circuit, we need a value for resistance, say we have 3Ω of resistance.

Therefore:

I=230/3

I=76.67A

Amperes is a units of electrical current flow, in coulombs per second. Volts is a unit of electrical potential difference, in joules per coulomb. The two units are not convertible without some intervening unit, such as resistance (ohms, or joules seconds per coulomb2) or watts (joules per second)

It depends upon the voltage the current is at. The higher the voltage, the lower the number of amps needed to deliver the same amount of power. For a 110 volt AC circuit, 230 watts means a draw of of about 2.3 amps. A draw of 15 amps at the same voltage will produce about 1500 watts.

16 amperes

<<>> 230 volts can have any number of amps from zero upwards depending on the load.

You most likely need a 20-30 amp outlet.
