IF the manufacturer did not list a rating on the switch for DC then the switch is not approved for the use on DC. Switches rated for AC will not last long used on DC because they do not have the ability to exstinguish the arc across the contacts present with DC.

How many amps equal 1800 watts at 110 volts?

To find the amperage, you can use the formula: Amps = Watts/Volts. Plugging in the values, you get Amps = 1800 Watts / 110 Volts ≈ 16.36 Amps.


How many amps can handle in 12 volts a 600 volts 15 amps rated terminal bar?

The terminal strip's rating is 15 amps at 600 volts. It does not matter what the voltage is up to 600 volts, the maximum amperage allowed on the strip is 15 amps. It could be 15 amps at 12 volts or 15 amps at 600 volts or any voltage in between.


What is the capacity of 1.5kva?

a 1.5 kVa source of electrical power has the capacity to supply 100 volts at 15 amps, 300 volts at 5 amps, or 1000 volts at 1.5 amps.


What is the max amps for 14 gauge wire at 12 volts?

15 amps


Convert 15 amps 415v to kw?

To convert 15 amps at 415 volts to kilowatts, use the formula: kW = (amps x volts) / 1000. So, kW = (15 A x 415 V) / 1000 = 6.225 kW.


How many watts does 115 volts equal to in a AC unit?

Applying the formula P (Power in watts) = V (Voltage in volts) * I (Current in amps), if the current is 15 amps, then the power consumption would be 115 volts * 15 amps = 1725 watts.


How many ac amps is a 1500 watts?

To convert watts to amps, you can use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. Assuming a standard voltage of 120V, 1500 watts would be equivalent to 12.5 amps (1500 watts / 120 volts = 12.5 amps).


How many lights can you have on a circuit?

15 amps at 80% = 12 amps continuous. Watts = Amps x Volts.


How many amps in 3500 watts with 120 volts?

That depends on the voltage, but the residential standard is 240 volt. At that voltage you sit at around 15 amps, however it MUST be on a 20 amp circuit for national (US) or Canadian electrical code, as you can only load your circuit to 80% of it's capacity.


What size wire to carry 8 amps at 120 volts?

A # 14 copper conductor will be fine to carry 8 amps at 120 volts. This size conductor is rated at 15 amps.


If a microwave has 15 amps what is the wattage?

volts X amps = watts standard 120 X 15 amps =1800watts microwaves generally use about 1000 watts which is 8.33 amps...


Is 15 amp of 125 ac volt is equal to 15 amp 12 dc volt?

No. At 125 volts, the same 15 amp current results in 10 times as much power. Ohm's Law states that amps x volts = power.
