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)

Convert 9000 watts at 220 volts into amps?

To convert watts to amps, use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. So, 9000 watts at 220 volts would be: 9000 / 220 = 40.91 amps.


How do you compute the 2000 watts in 220 volt to how many amps?

watts = volts * amps--> Amps = watts/ volts therefore; 2000/220= 9.09 amps


How many amps equal 3000 watts at 220 voltage?

To calculate the amperage, you would use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. In this case, 3000 watts divided by 220 volts equals approximately 13.64 amps.


350 watts 220 volts equals Current?

Current can be calculated by dividing the power (in watts) by the voltage. In this case, 350 watts divided by 220 volts equals a current of approximately 1.59 amps.


How many watts in 12 amps at 220 volts?

To calculate watts, multiply the amperage by the voltage. In this case, 12 amps multiplied by 220 volts equals 2640 watts.


How many amp breaker is needed for 4000 watts at 220 volts?

The equation that you are looking for is I = W/E. Amps = Watts / Volts.

If a central air conditioner uses 10 KW while running at 220 volts what amperage current does it use?

To calculate the amperage current, you can use the formula: Amperes = Watts / Volts. In this case, it would be 10,000 Watts (10 KW) / 220 Volts = 45.45 Amperes. Therefore, the central air conditioner would use approximately 45.45 Amperes while running.


How many watts in amp at 220 volts?

That of course depends on who made the water heater and what model number it is you could always call the manufacturer. Quickest way I know of is to look at the heating elements. They will have a wattage rating. This number is visible when you take the cover or covers off, move aside the insulation and use a flashlite to spy the pesky little rascals.I suggest you shut off the voltage first. My 80 gal has 2 elements of 4500 watts each if I'm not mistaken. All you need to do is multiply the Volts by the Amps and that equals watts

How many watts can can you use with a 20 amp 110 volt outlet?

If you are asking about 220 watts, remember Watts equal power, which is Volts times Amps. Amps are used to measure current - how many electrons flow past a certain point per second - so there is no answer to this question. If you meant to ask what current a load of 220 Watts would take if the applied voltage was 110 Volts, the answer is 220 Watts divided by 110 Volts = 2 Amps.
