To determine the amperage of a circuit, you need to know the power (in watts) and the voltage (in volts). Using the formula P = V x I, where P is power in watts, V is voltage in volts, and I is current in amperes, you can rearrange the formula to solve for current: I = P / V. Given a voltage of 220V and assuming a power value, you can calculate the amperage. However, without the power value, it is not possible to determine the amperage in this scenario.

To calculate amps, you need to know the power in watts. Without this information, it is not possible to determine the amperage at 220V and 60Hz. The formula to calculate amperage is Amps = Watts / Volts.
That depends entirely on your service. Look at the meterbase to your house; if the shutoff says "100A", you have 100 Amp service. If the shutoff says "125A" you have 125 Amp service... you get the idea.
Answer
Assuming (1) the load is balanced, and (2) 380 V is the line voltage (UL), then the line current (IL) is given by:
P = 1.732 UL IL x power factor
Since the power factor is unity, rearranging the equation, to make IL the subject:
IL = P/(1.732 UL) = 160 000 / (1.732 x 380) = 243 A (Answer)
The formula you are looking for is I = W/E. 6 kW = 6000 watts. Amps = Watts/Volts
If your device uses 900 Watts at 7.5 Amps, then it requires 120 volts. If you want to use it where the supplied current is 220 volts, then you'll need a transformer - but only if the device can operate on 50 Hz. Most places that use 220 Volts supply it at 50 Hz. If your device says it can operate on 50 Hz you can use a transformer.
No, a device designed to work on 50 Hz/60 Hz at 120 VAC will not work on 220 VAC without a voltage converter or transformer. The difference in voltage can damage the device and may not function properly. Always ensure that the device is compatible with the voltage and frequency of the power supply before connecting it.
Well, friend, hertz (Hz) measures frequency, while amps measure electrical current. They are two different things, like happy little trees and fluffy clouds in the sky. So, 60 Hz refers to the frequency of alternating current, while amps measure the flow of that current. Just remember, there are no mistakes, only happy accidents in the world of electricity!
It should be all right. The main thing to get right is the supply voltage, because usually 50 Hz goes with 220-240 v and 60 Hz goes with 120 v.
The unit of frequency, such as 50 Hz in this case, refers to the number of cycles per second. Amps, on the other hand, represent current flow in a circuit. The frequency (Hz) and current (Amps) are two different electrical quantities and are not directly related to each other.
