There is really no wattage in "rms". RMS means only that the calculation goes P = V * I where you use V-RMS and I-RMS. In common use, the terms "RMS power" or "watts RMS" are erroneously used to describe average power.

To determine the number of amps, you also need the voltage. However, if we assume a voltage of 120V (common in households), you can use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. Therefore, with 5000 watts and 120 volts, the amperage would be around 41.67 amps.

Power is defined as a function of the current and voltage, AND, in AC (Alternating Current) circuits any phase shift between the applied voltage and the resulting current.

For pure RESISTIVE circuits (incandescent lamps, electric stoves, electric space heaters, etc.) operating on DC (direct current), the current in amperes is equal to the DC voltage divided by the resistance (in ohms) of the "load".

In circuits containing inductive "loads" (Transformers, motors, etc.) and operating on a pure sine wave power source, the power is defined as the RMS voltage times the cosine (trig function) of the phase difference between the voltage and the resulting current. This phase "angle" will never exceed 90 degrees.

So to properly answer the question, one needs to know if the power applied is AC or DC, and what is the applied voltage.

Assuming 120V, 5000W is 41.66A bassed on the formula P = V * I P = Watts

V = Volts

I = Amps

The formula you are looking for is I = W/E, therefore 5,000/120 = 41.66 amps.

5000 watts at 240 volt will draw how many amps?

To find amps if watts and volts are known, use the formula; watts / volts = amps or 5000 / 240 = 20.83 amps


5000 watts equal how many amps?

There is no direct conversion between the two. You need to know voltage to calculate amps. This is the equation: P = V * I Where: P = Watts V = Volts I = Amps

How many amps does a 5000 watt generator supply?

5000 (watts) /120 (volts) = 41.6 amps , but to be safe you should allow 1000 watts margin for peaks, so 4000/120 is 33.3amps, although peaks might sometimes get higher than 5kw

To answer this question the voltage of the immersion heater is needed. I = W/E.


How many amps does a 5000-watt inverter draw from a 24 volt system?

A 5000-watt inverter on a 24 volt system draws approximately 208 amps (5000 watts / 24 volts = 208.33 amps). This calculation assumes 100% efficiency, so actual power draw may be slightly higher.
