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.
What size wire for a welding extension cord 220v 50 amps?
Wire size depends on amps. Use #10 for 30a. #8 for 40 or 50a. #6 for 60a.
What size breaker should be used for a dryer in Canada?
Minimally 30 AMPS
What size generator would you need to power a 200 amp tig welder?
Generators are rated in watts or kilowatts. The formula for watts is W = Amps x Volts. To size a generator for the welder the voltage of the machine must be stated.
What size wire do you need for 440 three phase welder on an eight foot run?
The wire size depends on the amperage, not the voltage. The fact that the welder runs on 440 volts does not affect the wire size! You need to ask this question instead: What size wire do you need for a three phase welder on an eight foot run if the nameplate amps are 45A?
Convert 140va at 240v equals amps?
0.583333333333
Does a 31watt 240v motor draw 0.13 amps?
yes, 31watt divide 240v equals to 0.13amps.
What gauge of wire from the panel to the outlet would a 240V 52A rated welder require?
#6 You can use number 6 copper if you wish,you will definitely not overload it or you can figure the wire size by the duty cycle. If your welder has a 100 duty cycle rating use wire good for 52 amps or a number 6. If the duty cycle is 90, multiply the amp draw by .95 x 52 or 49.4 amps or a number 8 wire. These are a few more of the duty cycle multipliers 80 duty cycle(.89) 70 duty cycle(.84) 60 duty cycle(.78)Duty cycle takes in to account that most welders do not weld continously at maximum welder output all the time.
What is the amps for a 2.5hp 240v cont motor draw.?
Presuming single phase and 1500 rpm. Normal running current would nearly 10 Amps but varies considerably. A real cheap one running at 3000/3600 rpm could exceed 12 amps. At 240 volt, all should be run off 15 Amp line.
If you have 500 watts and 240v what is the amperes?
The equation that needs to be used is I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts. Amps = 500/240 = 2.08 amps.
How do you solve for the size of wire when the given is kva?
The V stands for volts and A is amps. If for example you have a 12kVA device and are running off a voltage of 120 volts then Amps = 12000/120 = 100. You then use the calculated amps in a wire size table to get the correct size.
1kw light bulb how many amps do you need if the voltage is 240v?
The basic formula for the Voltage, Current, Power relationship is P=I*E. To find one when the other two are known, simply fill in the two you know and solve. In this case P=1000W and Voltage = 240V (It is important that you pay attention to the unit definer here, if it were 240 mV, you would have Voltage = .240V and so on). 1000W = I * 240V I = 1000W/240V I = 4.17A
