To calculate the amperage, you need to use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. Assuming a standard voltage of 120V, you can calculate the amperage by dividing 600 watts by 120 volts, which equals 5 amps. Therefore, 600 watts would require 5 amps of current at 120 volts.

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.

To calculate the number of amps, divide the wattage by the voltage. If we assume a standard voltage of 120V, then 600 watts would require 5 amps (600 watts / 120 volts = 5 amps).
