An amp is a mesurement of electrical CURRENT. There are milliamps,microamps,etc. Actually amp is short for ampere. An amp amp may be referring to the current draw of an amplifier also called an amp. A electronics dictionary does not have the term amp amp. It may be an invented term simply made up to impress the consumer or reader.

Amps (short for amperes) is a unit of measurement for electric current. It quantifies the rate of flow of electricity through a conductor. It is a key component in determining the amount of electrical power being used in a circuit.
It means using an amp meter and checking to see how many amps a circuit is pulling.
There in no meaning of the word amping in electrical trade terminology. One can check the amperage or test the amperage but amping means nothing.
To convert watts to amps, you need to divide the wattage by the voltage. In this case, 9.6VA divided by 12V equals 0.8 amps. So, 12 volt 9.6VA is equivalent to 0.8 amps.
A fuse rating of 5 amps means that the fuse will break the circuit if the current passing through it exceeds 5 amps. It acts as a safety measure to protect the circuit from damage due to excessive current flow.
200ma is .200 amps or .2 amps
Watts is a measure of power, while amps is a measure of electric current. The relationship between watts and amps depends on the voltage of the circuit. The formula to calculate power (in watts) is P = V x I, where P is power in watts, V is voltage in volts, and I is current in amps.
No, a double 30 amp breaker means you have a total of 30 amps available for each leg of the 220 volt outlet. So, in total, you have 60 amps available for the outlet (30 amps on each leg).
