It is not possible to answer you question, because volts and watts are not comparable. You question would be like asking, "Is 700 pounds heavier than 14 gallons?"
Watts are a measurement of power. Volts are a measure of electrical potential. Comparing watts to voltage is incorrect.
If your circuit has 14 volts and is drawing 50 amps of current you have a total power of 700 watts.

How do you calculate amperage when given the values of watts and volts?
With an instrument called a multimeter. The single meter incorporates within it a volt meter, an ohm meter and an amp meter. For higher amperages a clamp on amp meter is recommended as the circuit does not have to be opened to take a reading.
What are the running watts compared to the starting watts?
When you first turn on a motor it is starting from a static position and more current is required to get the motor up to speed (Starting current) than to keep it running (running current). Since watts equals amps times voltage you can see the difference in wattage is related to current. If you look at watts as work being done it is obvious that it requires more work to get the motor running than to keep it running.
How many watts can be put on a 20 amp 208 volt circuit breaker?
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.
How many amps is 8500 watts generator?
To find the amperage of a generator, you can use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. Assuming a standard voltage of 120V for household generators, you can calculate the amperage as: 8500 Watts / 120 Volts = 70.83 Amps.
900 amps is equal to how many watts?
In order to calculate wattage, you must know the value of the voltage source. Using Ohms law, you can calculate wattage by multiplying the number of volts by the number of ampers (P=I X E), where P is the power in watts, I is the current in Amperes, and E is the source voltage in Volts. So, at 240 volts, 100 amperes would represent 240V X 100A = 24,000 watts. At 120 volts, 100 amperes would represent 120V X 100A = 12,000 watts. At 12 volts, 100 amperes would represent 12V X 100A = 1200 watts. Note: This is only completely true for DC (Direct Current) or 100% resistive AC loads. If you're calculating wattage on an inductive load (such as a large tranformer or fluorescent light fixture), for any given amount of current, the actual value for wattage will always be less than that calculated amount. If you're unsure about the nature of an AC load, you can only use ohm's law as an approximation of wattage. For AC loads, you will often see the term "Volt-Amperes" used instead of "Watts" when calculating the power consumption of AC loads.
Is 120volts more than 60watts?
They're different things. Watts are volts times current.
Single phase 220 volts 2.6 kW how many amps?
You cannot convert 2.6 kw to amps with that information only. In order to convert watts to amps, you also need to know either current or voltage. This is because watts is volts times amps, and volts is current times resistance
What is formula for calculating watts into volts?
Watts are used to measure power, whereas volts are used to measure potential difference. These are two different quantities, and you cannot convert one into another any more than you can convert kilometres to kilograms.
How many watts can a 30 amp service deliver?
There is insufficient information to answer the question. Volts * Amps = Watts. If one assumes 240 Volts * 30 Amps you would have 7200 Watts (peak) available. But don't ever plan to use that amount of current for anything more than a few seconds.
380volt 266KW how many amps?
volts = watts divided by amps amps = watts divided by volts watts = amps times volts so 266,000 watts divided by 380 volts = 700 amps and I might also point out that whatever it is you are talking about is very dangerous and can kill you in less than a heartbeat. I'd be sure to talk with an electrician if I were you if you plan on going anywhere near that.
Will 20 amps handle 3500 watts?
No. 20 amps at 120 volts will handle a maximum of 2400 watts. And you should never continuously load a 20 amp 120 volt circuit to no more than 1920 watts.
How many watts can run through 12-3 wire?
Wire is rated in ampacity, You can use only 80% of the rated ampacity. Voltage and amperage are inversely proportional. So at 120 volts alternating current you safely run 1800 watts ( I have added a small safety margin). At 240 volts you can run 3600 watts. I hope this has answered you question Ampsxvolts=watts watts/volts=amps
Can an American PS3 work on 220w?
it's volts and not watts that the question needs to be asking. But the PS3 slim, which uses the least power needs more than 220 watts and it also needs power for the TV

Does a 50 amp burn more electricity than a 30 amp?
As asked, the question cannot be answered. However... if the voltage levels were the same, yes. Electrical energy is measured in Watts. To calculate Watts, use the following formula: Watts = Volts * Amps

What has more power 4 batteries of 1.5 volts each or a single battlery of 4.8 volts?
If you connect the four batteries in series, you get 1.5 x 4 = 6 volts total. So the four batteries give more volts.If the question is which alternative will deliver more power as in watts, that depends on both the batteries and the application. As an example, a 12 V car battery has higher capacity and can deliver far more watts than eight torch batteries in series for the same number of volts.But as long as the maximum current the application draws is no higher than what the smallest batteries can deliver, the power (watts) will depend only on voltage.
