watts = Current x Volts for a resistive load. If you are talking about residential voltage of 120 VAC the formula is A = 12,000 / 120 or 100 Amps. 100. That current can kill you.

To convert kilowatts to amps, you need to know the voltage of the circuit. The formula to calculate amps is: Amps = kilowatts / (volts * power factor). For example, if the voltage is 120V, then the amps would be 100A for a 12kW load.
To calculate the amperage, use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. In this case, 50 watts / 12 volts = 4.17 amps. So, a 50 watt 12V light will draw approximately 4.17 amps of current.
You need the volts times the amps to equal 100 Watts. On 12 v that is 8.33 amps, or on 200 v is it 0.5 amps.
To calculate the amperage, you can use Ohm's Law formula: Amperage (A) = Power (W) / Voltage (V). In this case, for a 5 watt bulb at 12 volts, the amperage drawn would be 0.42 amps (5W / 12V = 0.42A).
For a 100 watt 12 volt lamp, you should use a wire gauge size of at least 18 AWG to ensure it can handle the current without overheating. It's always best to refer to the manufacturer's recommendations for the specific lamp you are using.
To find the amperage produced by a 170 watt, 12 volt solar panel, you can use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. In this case, 170 watts / 12 volts = 14.17 amps.
