ReneTo 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.
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.

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
How do you compute the 2000 watts in 220 volt to how many amps?
watts = volts * amps--> Amps = watts/ volts therefore; 2000/220= 9.09 amps
How many amps are produced by 10000 watts at 240 volts?
41.666 amps. Divide watts by volts.
How many amps equal 3000 watts at 460 voltage?
To find the amperage, you can use the formula: Watts = Volts x Amps. Rearranging it, we get Amps = Watts / Volts. Plugging in the values for 3000 Watts and 460 Volts, we get: Amps = 3000 / 460 = 6.52 amps.
How many volts it takes to cause a current of 1.95 amps to exist in a 200 watt lamp?
The formula to calculate the relationship between amps, volts and watts is Volts X Amps = Watts or Volts = Watts / Amps or Amps = Watts / Volts therefore; 200 Watts divided by 1.95 Amps is 102.5641 Volts.
