I don't understand the question, but if you want to make the line into a 20amp instead of 15amp, you just install a 20amp breaker, but remember,the wire must be 12ga wire
to be connected to a 20amp breaker.

To convert from 15 amp to 20 amp at 110 volts, you would need to replace the existing 15 amp circuit breaker with a 20 amp circuit breaker. It is important to ensure that the wiring and all components in the circuit can support the increased amperage to prevent overheating or electrical hazards. Make sure to consult with a qualified electrician for this type of modification.

∙ 13y agoA watt is a unit of power, and power is given by
P = IV
where P is power, I is current and V is voltage.
Therefore,
P = (15A)*(120V) = 1800A*V = 1800W

How many amp circuit do you need for a 110 volt 1500 watt hot water heater?
For a 1500 watt hot water heater connected to a 110 volt power source, you would need a 13.6 amp circuit. It is recommended to use a 15 amp circuit to provide some safety margin.
Can you run a 115 volt 15 amp air conditioning unit on a 110 outlet?
It is generally not recommended to run a 15 amp air conditioning unit on a 110 volt outlet designed for lower power devices. The unit may not function efficiently or may overload the circuit, causing safety hazards. It is best to use the outlet that meets the voltage and amperage requirements specified by the air conditioning unit.
How many volts can you draw off of a 15amp breaker?
On a 15 amp breaker, you can draw up to 120 volts in a standard residential circuit. The voltage remains constant at 120 volts, but the amperage capacity is what is limited by the 15 amp breaker.
Can you replace a 13 amp 125 volt appliance cord with a 15 amp 125 volt cord?
Yes, no problem at all going to a larger ampacity of wire. Larger size wire yes, smaller size wire no.
Can you connect a 230 volt 15 amp air compressor to a 240 volt 50 25 amp generator?
No, it is not safe to connect a 15 amp air compressor to a 25 amp generator. The generator's output exceeds the maximum amperage of the air compressor, which could potentially damage the compressor or cause overheating. It is recommended to use a generator that matches the power requirements of the air compressor for safe operation.
Can you convert an old 15 amp 125 volt electrical outlet to a household electrical outlet?
A 15 amp 125 volt outlet is a household outlet.
How many amp circuit do you need for a 110 volt 1500 watt hot water heater?
For a 1500 watt hot water heater connected to a 110 volt power source, you would need a 13.6 amp circuit. It is recommended to use a 15 amp circuit to provide some safety margin.
What gauge underground wire for 110 volt 15 amp 700 ft for a pond pump?
A #1 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% when supplying 15 amps for 700 feet on a 120 volt system.
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.
Can a 240 volt receptacle go on a 15 amp circut breaker?
In North America you would need two 15 amp breakers to obtain 240 volts. The wire for a 15 amp circuit would be #14 AWG. So to answer the question, yes a 240 volt receptacle can go on a 15 amp circuit.
Can you plug a 2400 watt in a 15 amps?
No. A 120 volt 15 amp service will handle a maximum of 1,800 watts. Even a 20 amp service will only handle 2400 watts and that is at max load which you should never load on a 20 amp circuit. You will need a 30 amp 120 volt or 240 volt service for 2400 watts.
Can you run a 115 volt 15 amp air conditioning unit on a 110 outlet?
It is generally not recommended to run a 15 amp air conditioning unit on a 110 volt outlet designed for lower power devices. The unit may not function efficiently or may overload the circuit, causing safety hazards. It is best to use the outlet that meets the voltage and amperage requirements specified by the air conditioning unit.
How many volts can you draw off of a 15amp breaker?
On a 15 amp breaker, you can draw up to 120 volts in a standard residential circuit. The voltage remains constant at 120 volts, but the amperage capacity is what is limited by the 15 amp breaker.
How do you split up a 240 volt outlet for 110 power?
A 220 outlet will have one neutral (white) and two hots (black and red normally) just use the neutral and just one of the two hot wires. Careful where you do this because normal 110 breakers are 15 or 20 amp and normally 220 breakers tend to be either 30 amp for a dryer or 50 amp for a stove.
Will a 120 volt circuit carrying a 2200 watt load blow a 15 amp fuse?
It will draw over 18 amps and will blow a 15 amp fuse.
How can you determine if you have 110 or 220 volts?
Most residential service in USA has both. In the USA 110 to 120 volts is a given and it would be very unusual not to have 220 to 240 volts. It can be easily tested at main panel with a volt meter. Or as an alternative call your power company.
Can you change 30 amp to 60 amp?
Changing from a 30 amp circuit to a 60 amp circuit typically involves installing a new circuit breaker, upgrading the wiring, and ensuring that all components can handle the increased amperage. It's important to consult a licensed electrician to assess your electrical system and make the necessary changes to safely accommodate the higher amp rating.
