Using the formula I = W/E, the current of the circuit will be 6.8 amps. As long as the wire is at least a #14 and is protected by a 15 amp two pole breaker There will be no problem. Just make sure that the specifications on the 1500 watt device clearly show that the voltage range is 220 - 240 volts.
It certainly can, but it would depend on the fuse rating and existing load on the circuit.

Single phase 220 volts 2.6 kW how many amps?
You cannot convert 2.6 kw to amps with that information only. In order to convert watts to amps, you also need to know either current or voltage. This is because watts is volts times amps, and volts is current times resistance
Will a motor that has 220 volts and 7 amps have enough power to equal 1 hp?
Yes! One HP equals 749 watts. W = V . I 220 . 7 = 2.056 In reality, with 7 amps in 220 v you have more than 2 HP. By Nonô - BRAZIL Yes! One HP equals 749 watts. If you have 7 amps on 220 v, as watt = volts . amps, 220 . 7 = 1540 watts 1540 / 7498 = 2.056 HP. You have more than 2 hp. By Nonô - BRAZIL
How much a 3 ampere motor 220 v single phase is equal in kw?
As watts are made of volts times amps, the answer would be 0.660kw.
The primary coil of a step-up transformer draws 110 W. What is the power provided by the secondary coil?
When we look at transformers, we'll generally see that watts in will equal watts out. Said another way, volt-amps in equal volt-amps out. There is a simple relationship between the turns ratio between the primary and secondary and the voltages between those two windings. From there, it's a hop, skip and a jump to figuring out currents. In a one to one transformer, volts in equal volts out. Current in will equal current out, too. Watts in will equal watts out. In a step down transformer with, say, a 10:1 ratio, 120 volts in will produce 12 volts out. And a 1 amp secondary current will appear as a 0.1 amp current in the primary. The 120 volts x 0.1 amps = 12 watts. And the 12 volts x 1 amp = 12 watts. Volt amps in equals volt-amps out, and power in equals power out. Simple and easy. If you are using a step up transformer in, say, a 110 volt to 220 volt application, 110 watts in the primary at the 110 volts will be 1 amp. In the secondary side, 220 volts will appear and 0.5 amps will be the current flow. The 220 volts times the 0.5 amps is 110 watts, as asked about. The secondary has twice the voltage and half the current of the primary side. There are 110 watts in and 110 watts out. Again, simple and easy.
If electric meters are sized for 4000 amps how many kw is that?
Amps * Volts = WattsWatts / 1000 = KW4000 * 220 = 880,000 Watts880,000 Watts = 880 KW To answer this question the true voltage value has to be known. The above answer surmises that the voltage is 220 volts. (but it's close enough for all practical purposes)
