It's 120 x 8 for things with a power factor of 1, like electric heaters, irons or incandescent bulbs. If the item connected has a power factor less than 1, like electric motors, televisions, computers or CFL bulbs, you have to multiply by the power factor.

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

To convert amps to watts, you need to know the voltage at which the current is flowing. The formula to calculate power (watts) is P = I x V, where P is power in watts, I is current in amps, and V is voltage in volts. Without knowing the voltage, it is not possible to accurately determine the power in watts for a given current of 8 amps.

What if the input power is 208 volts line to line two phase 8 amps to a heating element vs 110 volts 8 amps to a heating element How is watts calculated?

To calculate watts, you need to multiply the voltage (in volts) by the current (in amps). For the 208 volts, 8 amps heating element: Watts = 208 volts * 8 amps = 1664 watts For the 110 volts, 8 amps heating element: Watts = 110 volts * 8 amps = 880 watts


4 volts is a many watts?

4 volts and how many amps? Watts = amps x volts. It depends on the amount of current (in Amps) flowing at 4 Volts... See Ohms Law: Watts = Volts x Amps If you have 2 Amps flowing at 4 Volts you are dissipating/consuming 8 Watts. If you have 10 Amps flowing at 4 Volts you are dissipating/consuming 40 Watts.


How do you compute the 2000 watts in 220 volt to how many amps?
