6240 watts if it's on a 240 volt circuit. A better answer is to just learn that amps X volts = watts.

To calculate the watts needed for 26 amps, you would multiply the amperage by the voltage. For example, if the voltage is 120V, the calculation would be 26 amps x 120V = 3120 watts.

How many amps is 26 awg wire rated for?

A 26 AWG wire typically has a current rating of around 0.22-0.3 amps for power transmission in open air or an enclosed environment. This may vary based on factors like temperature and insulation material.


How many watts does a cablebox use?

-21-inch Standard TV: 74 watts -42-inch LCD TV: 195 watts -DVD Player: 15 watts -VHS Player: 17 watts -Blu-Ray: 19 watts -Satellite Decoder: 35 watts -Converter Box: 08 watts -Cable Box: 25 watts -42-inch LCD TV: 195 watts -26-inch CRT TV: 74 watts


What appliances use 220 volts?

Yes it will but there will be a reduction of wattage output. The following as an example as to why this reduction occurs. Lets say that your range is rated at 6000 watts at 220 volts. The resistance is calculated to be R = E (squared)/W = 8 ohms. The current would be I = E/R, 220/8 = 27.5 amps. If the 220 volt range is connected to a 208 volt supply the following condition happens. I = E/R, 208/8 = 26 amps. To check this connection's wattage W = A x V, 26 x 208 = 5408 watts. Cooking food is the oven will take a little bit longer to cook.


What you basically want is will each phase take 26 Amps current for 15HP 3 phase 415VAC motor?

Yes, for a 15HP 3-phase 415V AC motor, each phase will draw approximately 26 Amps of current when running under normal operating conditions. This results in a total current draw of 26 Amps per phase for the motor.


How much current does it take to trip a 30 amp automotive circuit breaker?

In a typical US automobile, a 30 amp fuse will sustain a constant load of 360 watts. Fuses and circuit breakers perform on an "I squared t" rule. For example, a 30 amp fuse will not blow on 31 amps for a very long time. A 20 amp breaker can take anywhere from 10 minutes to two hours to trip on 25 amps. We simply dumb it down so that laymen and technicians need not make mistakes. Power on seven 100 watt light bulbs simultaneously. That means a circuit suddenly provides 50 amps. 50 amps does not trip a 15 amp or 20 amp breaker, again, due to the "I squared t" rule. A 50 amps load only exists for tens of milliseconds. Not long enough. A 30 amp continuous appliance will not trip a 30 amp breaker. But a safety margin means limiting 30 amp appliances to 26 amps or less. Meanwhile, an 18 gauge lamp cord wire typically rated for 10 amps will actually conduct up to 50 amps continuously. Again, that wire is oversized for other safety reasons. And to keep it simple. These concepts apply to fuses vehicles and structures.
