A 20 amp breaker can handle up to 2400 watts per hour (20 amps x 120 volts = 2400 watts).
30X240=7200
The load exceeds the limit of the breaker or fuse. For example a 20 amp breaker on a 120 volt circuit will handle 2400 watts. Exceed that wattage and the breaker will trip or the fuse will blow.
To answer this question a voltage must be given. Watts = Amps x Volts. <<>> Answer At 115 volts ac, 30 amps equals 3,450 watts.
A 20 amp circuit breaker at 208 volts can handle up to 4160 watts (20 amps x 208 volts = 4160 watts). This is calculated by multiplying the amperage by the voltage to determine the maximum wattage capacity of the circuit.

The maximum wattage that a 30 amp breaker can handle is 30 x 230 = 6900 watts. Other variables come into play and this number will decrease depending on the load, duty time, and difference in voltage fluctuation.

At 120 volts a 15 amp breaker can be loaded to 1800 watts before it will trip. If it is a continuous load then the electrical code states that it is only allowed to be loaded to 80%. This will be 1800 x .8 = 1440 watts. If the voltage is not 120 volts use the following equation Watts = Amps x Volts. Amps being the breaker size that is to be used.
The equation that you are looking for is I = W/E. Amps = Watts / Volts.
On a 20 amp breaker, you can safely operate devices that consume up to 2400 watts (20 amps x 120 volts = 2400 watts). Exceeding this limit can trip the breaker to prevent overheating and fire hazards.
Generally, a 15 amp breaker can safely handle around 1440 watts of power. The number of lights that can run off this breaker depends on the wattage of each light. As a guideline, if each light consumes around 60-75 watts, you can safely run about 16-24 lights on a 15 amp breaker.
This speaker is 500watts max.
The formulae for calculating watts to amps is Watts divided by Voltage. Therefore to get from Amps to Watts the calculation is Amps × Voltage. Therefore if you are working on a 240 volt supply the calculation is 20 (Amps) × 240 (Volts) which = 4800 watts.
