Yes, considering you can do that on 15 amp breaker easy.
Experience in construction field. The worst that will happen is that the breaker will trip off after a few minutes.

In the formula W = A x V. W = 20 x 120 = 2400 watts. If you want you can operate two 1000 watt lamps from a 20 amp breaker operating on 120 volts.

If a 120 volt current is protected by a 25 amp circuit breaker What is the largest number of watts an appliance can safely use?
The largest number of watts an appliance can safely use on a 120V circuit protected by a 25A breaker is 3000 watts. You calculate this by multiplying the voltage (120V) by the amperage (25A). This gives you a maximum power capacity of 3000 watts on this circuit.
How many watts in 120v-60Hz-12A?
To calculate watts, you can use the formula: Watts = Volts × Amps. For a 120V, 60Hz, 12A circuit, it would be: 120V × 12A = 1,440 watts. Therefore, the circuit uses 1,440 watts.
How many amps does a 1000 watt 120v ballast use?
A 1000 watt ballast operating at 120V would draw approximately 8.33 amps of current. This can be calculated by dividing the power (in watts) by the voltage (in volts).
How can you plug 2000 watts 240v into a 120v 20 amp breaker with out replacing your breaker and all the plugs on the line?
You cannot safely plug a 2000 watt 240v appliance into a 120v 20 amp breaker without risking damage or fire hazard. To use the appliance, consider installing a step-up transformer to convert the voltage from 120v to 240v before plugging it in. This will ensure the appliance operates correctly without overloading the circuit.
How do you calculate watts for a 15 Amp breaker?
That's easy. Depending on the amount voltage will determine the amount of wattage, since we know the value of the current. Lets take 120 VAC times 15 Amps = 1800 watts. When my wife and me have the small electric heater running in the bedroom during the morning before and she uses her hair dryer, it blows the breaker. Then I have to run downstairs and reset the breaker. The heater runs at around 9 Amps and the hair dryer draws around 10 Amps. 19 Amps blows the breaker. The more it blows the weaker it gets. Why would one want to know the amount of wattage on a breaker, when mainly were interested in the amonut of current ratings.

How much can a 15W circuit breaker handle?
Answer for the US: Breakers are rated in amps, not watts. However, a 15A breaker can handle 15 amps, or about 1800 watts (using 120V), or 3600 watts (using 240V). However, this is only rated for noncontinuous loads (those not lasting for more than three hours). For continuous loads (loads lasting three hours or more), one must derate the circuit breaker by 80%. So for continuous loads, that same breaker should only have 1440 watts (using 120V), or 2880 watts (using 240V) on it.
How many watts in 120v-60Hz-12A?
To calculate watts, you can use the formula: Watts = Volts × Amps. For a 120V, 60Hz, 12A circuit, it would be: 120V × 12A = 1,440 watts. Therefore, the circuit uses 1,440 watts.

A 1000 watt ballast operating at 120V would draw approximately 8.33 amps of current. This can be calculated by dividing the power (in watts) by the voltage (in volts).
How can you plug 2000 watts 240v into a 120v 20 amp breaker with out replacing your breaker and all the plugs on the line?
You cannot safely plug a 2000 watt 240v appliance into a 120v 20 amp breaker without risking damage or fire hazard. To use the appliance, consider installing a step-up transformer to convert the voltage from 120v to 240v before plugging it in.

How many watts in 120v 60Hz?
You need amps
What breaker to use in a bedroom that holds up to 15 amps with 120v?
15 amp breaker.
How much wattage is available in a 15amp breaker?
A 15-amp breaker can handle a maximum load of 1800 watts (15 amps x 120 volts). However, it is recommended to only load a circuit up to 80% of its capacity, so in practice, you should only use up to 1440 watts on a 15-amp breaker.
What is the wattage of 3A 120v Electric Fan?
360 watts
How many amps in 1715 watts and 120v?
The formula you are looking for is I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts.
37.5 amps converted in watts?
To convert amps to watts, you also need the voltage. The formula to calculate power in watts is Watts = Amps x Volts. If the voltage is 120V, then 37.5A would be equivalent to 4500W (37.5A x 120V = 4500W).
