A 1000 watt ballast operating at 120 volts would use approximately 8.33 amps of current. This can be calculated by dividing the wattage by the voltage (1000W / 120V = 8.33A).

It will power two 400 watt lamps.


Can you use a 1000 watt hps without a ballast?

No, you cannot use a 1000 watt HPS (high-pressure sodium) lamp without a ballast. The ballast is essential for regulating the electrical current flowing through the lamp, which is necessary for it to operate properly and prevent damage. Trying to operate a 1000 watt HPS lamp without a ballast can result in the lamp not lighting up or malfunctioning.

Yes, if that is all that is on the circuit.


How many amps can a 9000 watt generator produce?

If your generator is rated at 1000 watts continuous......and you are using 120V.....available amps are 1000/120 =8.3 .


How much wattage will the ballast and a 150 watt hps bulb use?

A ballast typically uses around 5-10 watts of power. In this case, a 150 watt HPS bulb will consume 150 watts of power when turned on. So, in total, the ballast and the bulb together will use around 155-160 watts.


How many amps in1 KW for a 240v sistem?

In a 240V system, 1 kW is equal to approximately 4.17 amps. This calculation is done by dividing the power in watts (1000 watts for 1 kW) by the voltage (240V) in the system.


How many amps is a 1000 watt microwave oven draw It is a 120 volt?

When the manufacturers refer to a 1000 watt oven they usually mean heat into food. The efficiency of ovens vary but it is quite common that a 1000 watt would consume 2000 watts from the mains. Watts = Amps X Volts so at 120V this would be 16.67 amps. But to be more accurate you need to find the actual input power of the oven.
