Power [Watts] = Voltage [Volts] * Current [Amps]
These equations assume purely resistive loads, all in the ideal format, anything other than ideal will vary based on your homes wiring, the types of breakers that you use, the type of device [load] that you put on the circuit, etc.
For a 20A Circuit:
120V (RMS) * 20A = 2400W (Keep in mind that this is an ideal case)
For a 15A Circuit:
120V (RMS) * 15A = 1800W (Keep in mind that this is an ideal case)

How many amps does an electric roaster use?
The amperage of an electric roaster can vary depending on its size and wattage. To calculate the amperage, you can use the formula: Amperage = Wattage / Voltage. For example, if a roaster has a wattage rating of 1200W and operates on a standard 120V outlet, the amperage would be 10A (1200W / 120V = 10A). It's important to check the specific wattage and voltage requirements of your electric roaster to determine the exact amperage it uses.
Can you plug a 120v 20 amp wielder into a 240v 40 amp outlet?
No, it is not safe to plug a 120v 20 amp welder into a 240v 40 amp outlet. The voltage difference is too high and could damage the welder. It is important to match the voltage and amperage of the welder with the corresponding outlet.
What wattage of bulb do you need to fit in a socket that has 120volts?
To calculate the wattage of bulb you need, you can use the formula P = V x I where P is power in watts, V is voltage in volts, and I is current in amperes (assuming a standard voltage of 120V). If the current is not provided, you can use the typical current for a household circuit of 15A. So, for a 120V socket, with a current of 15A, the maximum wattage of bulb would be 120V x 15A = 1800 watts.
Can you convert a 30 amp 120V RV receptacle into a normal 120V outlet?
You can, but your circuit will be "protected" by a 30 amp breaker. So you'll have to consider the safety issues of having wiring and appliances that can draw up to 30 amps before tripping the breaker. Will the wiring and circuity support that much current without damage? If not, then switch to a 15 or 20 amp breaker.
What is the maximum wattage on an outdoor outlet?
The maximum wattage on an outdoor outlet is typically around 1800 watts. It is important to check the specific outlet and its wiring to ensure it can handle the electrical load you intend to use. Exceeding the maximum wattage can cause overheating and potential fire hazards.
How many amps does an electric roaster use?
The amperage of an electric roaster can vary depending on its size and wattage. To calculate the amperage, you can use the formula: Amperage = Wattage / Voltage. For example, if a roaster has a wattage rating of 1200W and operates on a standard 120V outlet, the amperage would be 10A (1200W / 120V = 10A). It's important to check the specific wattage and voltage requirements of your electric roaster to determine the exact amperage it uses.
Can a 120v 60hz 30w adapter be replaced with 120v 60hz 25w?
Check the wattage of the device that plugs into the adapter. If the device's wattage is lower that 25 watts then the answer is yes. If the device's wattage is higher that 25 watts then the answer is no.
What is the wattage of 3A 120v Electric Fan?
360 watts
Can 240V washer run on 120V outlet?
No.
What is the wattage in the circuit?
wattage is voltage and amperage multiplied. example V/A=W or 120v x 20a=2400 watts
What is the maximum wattage of the airplane power outlet?
The maximum wattage of an airplane power outlet is typically around 75-150 watts.
Fax machine that operates on 120V and it say max wattage is 170W Can you connect two machines in series or one bulb of 170W in series with this machine to 220V outlet?
Connecting a machine in series with a bulb to try to use it on a higher voltage is inadvisable. The machine will have, at least in part, an inductive load, which will not equate to the purely resistive load of a bulb.
What is the standard wall outlet wattage for household appliances?
The standard wall outlet wattage for household appliances is typically 120 volts and 15-20 amps, which equates to a maximum wattage of around 1800-2400 watts.
What happens if you plug a 120V appliance into a 240V outlet?
You will burn up your appliance!!!!!
How can you get the wattage of a 1x3 solar panel when it is 17 volts output?
u multiply your voltage times max current (amps) and this gives u max wattage.
Is it possible to restart a human heart by sticking a fork in a 120V outlet?
Don't be stupid. No.
Can you plug a 120v 20 amp wielder into a 240v 40 amp outlet?
No, it is not safe to plug a 120v 20 amp welder into a 240v 40 amp outlet. The voltage difference is too high and could damage the welder. It is important to match the voltage and amperage of the welder with the corresponding outlet.
