A dimmer switch is used for lighting loads and not heating loads. The wattage rating on a dimmer switch is what the manufacturer recommends as the maximum load that the switch can handle. For example if you have ten 100 watt lamps, the total load wattage would be 1000 watts (10 x 100). Too much load for a 600 watt rated dimmer switch but not for a 1000 Watt rated dimmer switch. So you can see that the rating on a dimmer switch governs the maximum wattage load that can be connected in the circuit that is to be controlled.
You cannot convert Volts (or kv, 1000 volts) to watts (or mega watts, 1,000,000 watts) because volts are measure of electric potential difference between two points and watts are a measure of energy/time. However, WATTS = VOLTS x AMPS so... if you have 1000 AMPS flowing over a resistance/load with a difference in potential of 1000 volts (1 KV), you have 1,000,000 WATTS (1 MEGAWATTS) of energy consumed/time. So if a motor has 1KV potential accross its terminals and it is consuming 1,000 AMPS, it is a 1 MegaWatt motor (a large one indeed). To get energy, you have to multiply this 1MegaWatt x the time the motor runs and x a conversion factor to get to the appropriate unit of energy. Yes, I've been called a nerd before.
Ohms law states that V = I * R I = V/R R = V/I P = I*V Where V = Voltage, I=Current, R = Resistance and P = Power or Watt Watt is the amount of electricity flowing through a line which is (Voltage times Current in (Amperage) = Power or watts) To find the power dissipated by a resistor of 1000 ohms, we first find the current I. The voltage is given as 200volts. Therefore I = V/R = 200/1000 = 0.2Amps We said Power or Watt = I*V Therefore the Power or watts dissipated by a resistor of 1000 ohms will be P=I*V = 200*0.2 = 40 Watts
"2kw fire" if this refers to an electric fireplace then you also need to know the voltage that is used. 1Kw = 1000 watts. Watts = Amps x Volts. Amps = Watts/ Volts. Amps = 2000/Volts.
Power dissipated = I2R 0.022 x 1000 = 0.4 watts
A 1000 watt device operated continusouly for 1 hour would equal 1 Kwh.
To effectively control the brightness of a 1000 watt LED light using a dimmer switch, make sure the dimmer switch is compatible with LED lights and has a high enough wattage rating to handle the 1000 watt load. Adjust the dimmer switch to increase or decrease the voltage supplied to the LED light, which will in turn control the brightness of the light. Be cautious not to overload the dimmer switch with a wattage higher than its capacity to avoid damage.
Using a 1000 watt dimmer switch in a lighting system allows for greater control over the brightness of the lights, which can help save energy and create different moods or atmospheres in a room.
There are 1000 watts in a Kilowatt. so divide your watts by 1000.
1000. K = kilo = 1000 W = watts
"Watts RMS" is better represented as "Watts average". Since 1000 watts is 1kw you have "1000 watts average" and you can derive "1Kw average". So 1000 watts RMS will consume 1 Kw
1000 watts
Yes
! kw = 1000 watts 7800 kw = 7800 x 1000 watts = 7800 000 watts
There are 1000 watts in one kW. So 1.89 x 1000 = 1890watts. To go the other way changing watts to kW you divide watts by 1000. 1890/1000 = 1.89 kW.
Kilo means 1000. Therefore, 276 kilowatts = 276*1000 Watts = 276000 Watts
There are 1000 watts in a kilowatt, just like there are 1000 meters in a kilometer.
1000 watts = 1 kilowatt 1500 watts = 1.5 kilowatts
