Best Answer

Using the equation Volts X Amps = Watts, you can take 3000 watts / Volts to get your answer:

3000W/240V = 12.5A

or

3000W/120V = 25A

So, at 240 volts you will use 12.5 amps for 3000 watts of power. Or at 120 volts you will use 25 watts.

Depends on the voltage. In general, Watts = Voltage x Amps. So Amps = Watts / Voltage.

Example: 30,000 Watts / 120 Volts = 250 Amps.

There are zero amps in 3000 watts. One equation for amps is I = W/E.

Where I = amps, W = watts and E = volts.

How many amps would a slow cooker at 250 watts pull at 110 volts?

About 2.25 Amps.


How many amps does 6000 watts pull?

There are zero amps in 6600 watts. Watts are the product of amps times volts. W = A x V. To find amperage use the following equation, A = W/V, so as you can see a voltage value is needed in the equation to result in an amperage.


How many amps does a 17inch monitor use?

The average 17" LCD monitor will pull around 25 to 30 watts. At 120 volts this would equate to 0.2 to 0.25 amps.


How many kilowatts does 7 amps pull?

Seven amps pulls zero kilowatts . W = A x V. You need to state a voltage to multiply the amperage by to get watts. Then divide by 1000 to get kilowatts.


How many amps does 500 watt halogen pull?

At 120 volts it will pull 4.166 amps. At 240 volts it will pull 2.08 amps.


How many amps does a led light draw?

Depends on the size of the LED light and the voltage applied. An example is an LED 24 volt globe light that pulls 8 watts which draw 0.333333 amps. Take an LED 120 volt light bulb draws 12 watts and will pull 0.1 amps. The same bulb at 240 volts wil draw 0.05 amps. it really depends on the watts and voltage applied. An average would be about 0.1 amps.


How many amp will one 1000 watt bulb pull on 240?

Power(Watts) = I (Amps) x E(Voltage) PIE rule. so 1000 = I x 240. 1000/240 = 4.16667 amps.


How much amps 220volt2 horsepower pump pull?

One HP is equal to 746 watts. 2 x 746 = 1492 watts. The formula you are looking for is I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts. The most accurate amperage is found on the nameplate as this is established by the motor's manufacturer.


What is the formula to convert amperes from 440V to 460V?

For the same power - Watts - you need to run twice as many amps at 220V than at 440V. For the same load, it'll pull half the amps at 220V than it did on 440V


600 watts requires how many amps?

It depends on the voltage source. watts = voltage * voltage / resistance and amps = voltage / resistance example 1: To produce 600W from a 120V source, you need a resistor of size 120V*120V/600W = 24 Ohm. This would pull 120V/24 Ohm = 5 amps. example 2: To produce 600W from a 240V source, you need a resistor of size 240V*240V/600W = 96 Ohm. This would pull 240V/96 Ohm = 2.5 amps.
