Different controllers have different outputs depending on how many valves are on each zone. In the device there is a control transformer. Look for the VA output of the transformer's secondary side. Mine states 20 VA at 24 volts. To find the amperage use the following equation. I = W/V. Amps = Watts or VA/Volts. Mine can output 20 divided by 24 = .83 amps. This amperage will be the maximum output in amps that the controller can produce to operate the zone valves. To find the current draw of the primary side of the transformer divide the Transformers VA by 120 volts.

Convert Volt-amps to total amps?

To find your amps, divide your volt amps listed by the voltage you are using (and the device is rated for).Power in watts = Volts X AmpsVolts equals amps X resistance. All of these formulas can be transposed to find the missing element.If something is listed as 360 Volt amps and the voltage used is 120 volts it draws 3amps. So if the same device was used on a 240 volt circuit it would draw 1.5 amps. the power company charges for power (watts) so the volt amps are listed on the device and costs you the same regardless of the voltage used.If the same thing was designed for 12 volts it would draw 30 ampsThe current in amps is equal to the apparent power in volt-amps divided by the voltage in volts:A = VA / V


A 2000 watt heater connected to a 120 volt circuit will draw a current of?

Current (amps)=Watts/Volts =2000/120 =16.75 =16.75 amps


If a heater claims to be 1500 watts how long would it take for that heater to draw 1500 watts?

Watts is the amount of power the heater has and amps would be the draw- if it is a 120 volt heater than the amps would be 12.5 amps and it is instantaneous


5000 watts at 240 volt will draw how many amps?

To find amps if watts and volts are known, use the formula; watts / volts = amps or 5000 / 240 = 20.83 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.
