To calculate the amperage, you can use the formula: Amperes = Watts / Volts. So, for a 500 kW system at 240 volts, the amperage would be 2083.33 Amps.
When you multiply amps x volts the product is watts. Using this formula W = Amps x Volts should give you your answer.
The unit of power is expressed in watts, and the product of current (Amps) and voltage (volts) is power there fore if you multiply the amps and the volts give watts. so 20 x 240 will give you a 4800 watts of power.
To calculate the amps, you can use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. So, for 2000 watts and 110 volts, 2000 watts / 110 volts equals approximately 18.18 amps.
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.
To convert watts to amps, you can use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. For example, if you're using a 120V circuit, 450 watts would be equal to 3.75 amps (450 watts / 120 volts = 3.75 amps).
