I believe that you can use as many watts as your generator is rated for. I was told that if you have a 5000 watt generator then you could use products whose watts added up to that amount. If you had a radio that used 100 watts, a heater that used 1200 watts, an electric blanket that used 1000 watts, a coffee pot that used 500 watts, and a left handed smoke shifter that used 2205 watts, you would have to wait to use the coffee pot until you weren't using something else because they all added up to 5005 watts. I believe that the same holds true for the amps. You need to know how many amps each item uses and do not go over that amount or you will blow a fuse. Look at the placard or manufacturers label on the items and it will give you their individual wattage and amphere ratings. p.s. Here's a little trivia for you. A Left Handed Smoke Shifter was an item that the newest scouts to the troop are given on a list to ask other scout camps for. There is no such thing. It was part of a scavenger hunt. watts=volts X amps ie 120v x 10a =1200watts

To calculate the amps drawn from 10kW, you need to know the voltage of the circuit. If the voltage is 120V, then the amperage would be 83.3A (10,000W รท 120V = 83.3A). If the voltage is 240V, then the amperage would be 41.7A (10,000W รท 240V = 41.7A).

You get watts by multiplying amps with volts, you do the math.

You have to know the voltage of the circuit in question before you can determine maximum wattage usage with a 10 amp circuit.

Let's say you're using a 115 volt AC source typically used in a house that has a 10 amp circuit breaker...using the formula P (power in watts) = I (current in amps) [10] x E (voltage) [115], you get:

P=115 volts x 10 amps,

P=1150 watts, which would be the maximum power consumption the circuit would be capable of handling before the circuit breaker trips..to equate that to a common modern appliance, 1150 watts is the typical power rating of most steam irons at their highest heat setting.

How many amps at 220 volts can be drawn from 10kw?

To find the amperage, use the formula: Power (W) = Voltage (V) x Current (A). Rearranging the formula to solve for current gives: Current (A) = Power (W) / Voltage (V). So, with 10kW at 220V, the current drawn would be 45.45A.


How many amps does a 10kw heater draw that's 3phase 220volt?

To calculate the amperage for a 10kW heater on a 3-phase 220V system, use the formula: Amps = (kW x 1000) / (โˆš3 x Volts). So, Amps = (10 x 1000) / (โˆš3 x 220) = 26.18 amps per phase. Therefore, the total current drawn by the heater is 26.18 amps per phase multiplied by 3, which equals approximately 78.54 amps.


How many amperage in 10KW?

The formula you are looking for is I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts. As you can see a voltage must be stated to answer this question. 10kW = 10000 watts.


10kw heater at 220V draws how many amps?

A 10kW heater at 220V would draw approximately 45.45 amps. This can be calculated using the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. So, 10,000 Watts / 220 Volts = 45.45 amps.


How many amps can be drawn off 1kw?

depends on voltage.... 120volt = 8.33 amps , 240volt = 4.17 amps


How 10kw at 240volts what is amps?

Pwer is volts times amperes. 120 volts times 10 amperes = 1.2 KW


10kw equals How many watts in?

10 kW is equal to 10,000 watts.


How many amps will a 3 phase 480 volt 4kw heater draw?

To calculate the amperage drawn by the heater, you can use the formula: Amperage (A) = Power (W) / (Voltage (V) * Square root of 3). In this case, the amperage drawn will be approximately 5.8 Amps.


Will a single phase 32 amp distro run 10kw?

The short answer is no. The long answer is no, not if you are using standard 100-120 volt or 220-240volts found in most (all?) countries The following is a simplified best case scenario, which incorrectly assumes a power factor of 1. Power = Volts * Amps Watts = Volts * AMPS (Actually VA = Volts * Amps, but VA=Watts in best case scenario) but 10kw > 240 * 32. David


How many amps should a vacuum cleaner have?

Amount of electric current flowing through the vacuum. Watts: Amps multiplied by the power voltage drawn. Most upright cleaners are 7 to 12 amps. Many canister models are 12 amps. The maximum allowable amps that can be plugged into a household outlet is 12 amps.


How do you calculate the phase current when working with a 10kw 3 phase electrical motor?

To calculate the phase current of a 10kW 3-phase motor, you can divide the total power (10kW) by the square root of 3 (approx. 1.732) and then divide that result by the line-to-line voltage. The formula is: Phase Current (Amps) = Power (W) / (โˆš3 x Line-to-Line Voltage (V)).


Is a 60 amp breaker enough to for a 10kw heat strip?

Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hertz supply service.On heating elements of higher wattage 240 volts is usually the working voltage. 10000/240 = 41.6 amps. A #8 copper wire with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 45 amps. Code states that the conductor can only be loaded to 80% so 45 x .8 = 36 amps. A #6 copper wire with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 65 amps. 65 x .8 = 52 amps. No. Power = Voltage X Current.....so a 10,000 watt heat strip will draw 10,000 watts / 120 volts = 83 ampsNot so fast.Actually, it depends on the manufacturers guidelines. My 10KW heat strip, in my hvac system, is rated ( by the manufacturer ) at 41.7 amps.8 AWG wire is rated at 40 amps. 6 AWG wire at 50 amps.I used 6 AWG wire and a 50 amp breaker. I passed the electrical inspection.
