Best Answer

Amps * Volts = Watts

So,

Watts / Volts = Amps

2000 / 240 = 8.333 Amps

You should run the circuit on a two pole 15 Amp breaker, using 14 AWG, 2 conductor (plus ground) wire, just so you have a little safety factor in the circuit size.

Watts = Volts x Amps

Amps = Watts/Volts = 2000/240

Amps = 8.3

Using those numbers it should be @ 10.4 amp. Per heater.

Assuming just a resistive load and no blower motor the Power Factor will be one. Therefore, watts = volts x amps. 4500 = 240 x amps. Rearranging we have amps = 4500 / 240 = 18.7

The formula you are looking for is W = E x I. Watts = Volts x Amps.

To answer this question the wattage of the block heater must be stated. Amps = Watts/Volts.


What would be the amperage draw of a single phase 1200 watt heater if voltage is 120?

10 Amps. Amps=Watts/Volts


How many amps will a 400 watt heater cartrige draw at 240 volts?

The formula you are looking for is I = W/E.


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 amperes use an electric heater?

The electric heater will have power rated in Watts. The Amps it will draw depends on the voltage system you are using. Can be calculated by formula I (Amps) = P / V In the USA with 110V system a 2400W heater will draw 2400 Watts / 110 Volts = 21.8 Amps In Australia with a 230 V system a 2400W heater will draw 2400 Watts / 230 Volts = 10.4 Amps


What gauge wire you would use to wire a 5kw heater hvac?

At 120 Volts you would draw about 42 amps. At 240 Volts it would be about 21 amps. For 120 Volts you would need 6 AWG and for 240 Volts you would need 10 AWG.


What size breakers are needed for two 500 watt baseboards?

Each baseboard heater will draw a little over 4 amps at 120 volts or 2 Amps at 240 volts. The total number of baseboards on a circuit will draw the sum of these amps. Keep the load under 80% of the amperage rating of the breaker.


Can i use 10amp fuse for 1000 watts instant heater?

There are zero amps in 1000 watts. Watts are the product of amps x volts or I = W/E, watts divided by voltage. As you can see, that if no voltage is stated no amperage can be given. Once you find the voltage of the heater then use the following equation, Amps = Watts/Volts to find the current draw of the 1000 watt heater.


How much current would a 5-kW heater draw with 230 volts?

The formula you are looking for is I = W/E, Amps = Watts/Volts. Amps = 5000/230 =21.7 amps. The wire size to run this heater would be a #10 copper conductor. The supply breaker would be a two pole 30 amp breaker.


What is the kilowatt output of an electric heater that has an ampere draw of 50 a and a voltage source of 208 volts?

The watts is the volts times the amps So 208 x 50 watts, or 10.4 kW.
