How many amps needed for a 3000 watt 240 volt base board heater?

A 400 watt heater can safely be used on a 15 amp circuit. The size breaker needed for a circuit is determined by the size of the wiring in that circuit. AWG #14 wire requires a 15 amp breaker. AWG # 12 wire requires a 20 amp breaker.

∙ 13y agoElectrical power is equal to voltage times current, P = I * V, where P is power, I is current, and V is voltage.
Here, the equation becomes (1500 W) = I * (240 V). I = 1500/240 = 6.25 A
Make sure your electrical system can handle this so that you don't pop a circuit breaker or overheat a wire somewhere.

∙ 15y agoWatts = Amps x Volts. Amps = Watts/Volts = 4.16. The smallest breaker in a house panel is 15 amps. You will need a 2 pole 15 amp breaker. On a # 14 wire you can load that circuit up to 12 amps.

14AWG wire with a 15 amp will do

What size fuse is needed for a 3kw heater?
A 13 Amp fuse (brown) is needed for a 3kw heater. <<>> Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz power supply service. 3000 watts at 120 volts = 25 amps, 3000 watts at 240 volts = 12.5 amps.
How many amps is 3000 milliamps?
3 amps
How many amps equal 3000 watts at 460 voltage?
6.5 amps
How many amps needed for a 9000 btu unit at 240 volts?
9000 BTU/hour is equivalent to 2300 watts so the heater will draw 10 amps on 230 volts.
How many amps does a block heater draw?
To answer this question the wattage of the block heater must be stated. Amps = Watts/Volts.

How many amps breaker you need for a 5000 watts immersion heater?
To answer this question the voltage of the immersion heater is needed. I = W/E.
How many amps is 3000 milliamps?
3 amps
If a heater claims to be 1500 watts how long would it take for that heater to draw 1500 watts?
Watts is the amount of power the heater has and amps would be the draw- if it is a 120 volt heater than the amps would be 12.5 amps and it is instantaneous
How many amps equal 3000 watts at 460 voltage?
6.5 amps
How many amps needed for a 9000 btu unit at 240 volts?
9000 BTU/hour is equivalent to 2300 watts so the heater will draw 10 amps on 230 volts.
How many amps does a block heater draw?
To answer this question the wattage of the block heater must be stated. Amps = Watts/Volts.
How many amps is 3000 watts?
Amperage (coulombs/sec sort of like volume) and wattage (power) are independent of each other if you know the voltage you can calculate amps but they are not the same thing. 3000 watts/X volts=amps ex. 3000 watts/110v=27.28 amps
How much amps if heater element is 3000 watts and voltage is 220 and power factor is .80?
Heater elements usually have a power factor of 1, but if a load has a power factor of 0.8 it means that the VA is equal to the watts divided by 0.8, so that would be 3750 VA. With 220 v that would draw 17 amps.
How many amps do you need if you have a 480 volt space heater?
The heater should have a wattage rating (very few list amps). Calculate the amps using the wattage and voltage. Amps = Watts/Volts(480).
What is the number of AMPS for a 240V 2400 watt water heater?
Watts = Amps x Volts for a resistive load like a water heater.
How many Amps in 3KV?
There are zero amps in 3000 volts. A load needs to be connected to the voltage.
