There are no 'watts' in '15 amperes'. The watt is used to measure power, whereas the ampere is used to measure current. These are two completely different quantities, so you cannot convert one to another.

Watts = Volts x Amps x Power Factor

For a resistive load PF = 1 and gets less for non resistive loads. Therefore, if we have 120 V x 15 Amps we get 1800 Watts. Now as a rule of thumb we try only to load the circuit at about 80% capacity so we have 1440 watts.

It depends on the voltage. I = P / E where I = amps, P = watts, E = voltage.

Examples:

12 volts (such as in a car):

I = 15/12

I = 1.25 amps

120 volts (like a small lamp in a US home):

I = 15/120

I = 0.125 amps

Power (watts) = volts x amps

120 volts x 15 amps =1800 watts

At what voltage? P equals I times E, Where p=power in watts, I=current in amps and E= voltage in volts.

A 15 amp circuit has zero watts. The formula you are looking for is W = I x E. Watts = Amps x Volts.

How many volts can you get from 260 watts?

It depends on how many amperes there are. If you have 1 amperes, then you get 260 watts. If you have 260 amperes, then you have 67,600 watts. If you have 0.001 amperes, then you have 0.26 watts. Its just watts = volts times amperes. Of course, the limiting factor is the available power behind the 260 volts, but you did not say anything about that.


20 amp breaker how many watts?

Watts = volts x amperes. So if your region uses 110 volts, 20 amperes is equivalent to 2200 watts; if your region uses 220 volts, 20 amperes is equivalent to 4400 watts.


How many watts is 8.6 amperes?

8.6 amps is zero watts without a voltage.


How many amperes in a watt and how many watts in a volt?

Amps, volts and watts are interrelated, but you need to do a little math. Amps * Volts = Watts


How many watts are consumed by a light if 1.2 amperes are measured when 12 voltages are applied?

14.4 watts


How you find ups watts?

It is expressed in Volt-Amperes not Watts.


What are the watts on a 1999 Ford Escort?

Volts X amperes = watts.


How do you solve watts to amperes?

Amps = Watts/Volts, or Amps = Sq Root of Watts/Resistance.


How many amp in 4000 watts with 120 volts?

There is not enough information to answer your question directly... In order to determine how many volts it takes to make 4000 watts, you also need to know how many amperes there are. That is because watts is volts times amperes. For example, if you had a 120V system, you could divide 4000 watts by 120 volts to get 33 1/3 amperes.


Do amperes have more power than watts?

You can't really compare that. Amperes and watts measure completely different things. On the other hand, any time there are amperes, there are also watts. The relationship is:P = I^2 x R or in units: watts = amperes squared x resistance


What is the relationship between amperage voltage and power.?

The relationship between amperes, volts, and watts is... watts = amperes * volts Confirming by looking at the fundamental units involved... watts (joules per second) = amperes (coulombs per second) * volts (joules per coulomb)
