Can you have a 15 amp appliance on a 32 amp supply?

Yes, providing the phase is the same. but you can't do the other way around, or breaker will immediately pop, or fuse will blow.


How many amps does a 100 amp service supply?

A 100 amp service will supply your electrical current needs UP TO 100 amps.When doing load calculations on a 100 amp panel it can only be loaded up to 80 amps.


How much current in amps is needed to power a 3kw amplifier at 1500 volts?

It depends on what kind of amp it is. Is it an audio amp or an rf amp . . A 3 kW audio amp would draw about 300 watts on average at most, so with a good reservoir capacitor the supply current would be 0.2 amps. A 3 kW rf amp for AM radio would draw about 4500 watts so the supply current would be 3 amps.


Why are there two 15 amp breakers connected to your 30 amp breaker?

Answer for UK, Europe and countries running a 50 Hz supply service.It is acceptable to connect two 15-amp breakers to a 30-amp supply. It woud also be acceptable in some applications to connect three 15-amp breakers if it were known that the total current would not exceed 30 amps. For example in many UK properties there is a 60-amp supply, and connected to this there are two 30-amp supplies for the ring-circuit and the cooker, plus also a 10-amp lighting supply.


Can you use a 16vac 4A power supply to power a 16vac 1000ma tube amp?

Yes, you can use a 16VAC 4A power supply to power a 16VAC 1000mA tube amp. The power supply's current rating (4A) exceeds the amp's requirement (1A), which is safe and sufficient. Just ensure that the voltage is stable and matches the amp's specifications to avoid damage.

How much current flow in 1 watt bulb?

Everything Depends on the voltage supply ...... Current flow (Amp) = Watt / Voltage the Current flow will be 1 amp if voltage is 1 V the Current flow will be 0.5 amp if voltage is 2 V the Current flow will be 0.25 amp if voltage is 4 V and so on.......

How do you calculate amp draw if you have a 25KW strip heater?

Divide 25,000 by the supply voltage to get the current.


Can I use a 3amp supply on a 2amp supply?

Yes, you can use a 3-amp power supply on a device that requires a 2-amp supply, as long as the voltage matches. The 3-amp supply can provide the necessary current without overloading the device. However, the device will only draw the current it needs (2 amps), so there’s no risk of damage from the higher amperage. Just ensure that the voltage rating is correct to avoid potential issues.
