Watts from a socket is dependant upon what the load connected draws. The maximum capacity from a socket is calculated by the following equation, W = A x V. So the maximum wattage you are able to draw from the socket before the fuse blows is W = 13 x 220 = 2860.

How many watts can you plug into a 115 volt outlet?
Sir, i will not go by watts because it can take many hundreds of watts per outlet but it also depend on the size of the wire in the outlet the bigger the number the more watts.
What type of gfci outlet is best for 1600 watts?
A load of 1600 watts should be placed on a 20 amp 120 volt GFCI outlet.
What is the difference between 13A socket outlet and 15A socket outlet?
The 2 amp (about two hundred watts at household voltage) difference isn't that significant so the construction of the sockets should not differ greatly unless they are made of different conducting materials (aluminum/copper). The 15A socket should have thicker contacts or wiring to support the extra amperage or better construction to conduct away the extra heat that might be generated.
How many watts can you get from a wall socket in a house?
This can vary. In the United States a wall socket/outlet is usually limited to 15 amps (amperes) at 120 volts.Watts = Volts x Amps, so120 x 15 = 1800The typical US wall outlet can deliver 1800 wattsSome outlets are wired for 20 amps in which case they support 2400 watts.NOTE: It can be more complicated than this depending on what's plugged into the outlet. A motor (like in a vacuum cleaner or refrigeratior, etc.) can take amps in that it sends back out without using. Thus, it uses less watts than the amps that flow through it. In this case since the outlet is limited by amps the watts it can deliver to such a device is less than 1800 watts.Answer for the UKUK sockets are rated at 13 A at 230 V, so are capable of (13 x 230 = 2990 W) in nominal terms, or 3 kW in practise.
wattage of air compressors?
The average air compressor uses only about 120v. Which is the average house socket. Thus using about 400 Watts of power.
What are five light floor lamps?
Lamps with five flexable lights that provide great lighting and come with shades and four way switches.

How many watts can you put on a light switch?
If we assume that you are using a common 15 Amp lighting circuit and switch and using 120 volts to power the bulbs then you need to keep the wattage at 80% of 15 amp worse case or 12 amps. Watts = amps x volts for standard incandescent bulbs. 12 x 120 = 1440 watts.

What wattage of bulb do you need to fit in a socket that has 120volts?
120 volts is a standard voltage in US for normal house hold electric outlet. , So you can buy from 0 watts to 1000 watts for 120Volts socket . However the bulb you want to buy depend on the Lamp holder , rating of the socket and where the holder is installed, how much light you need etc . Check the max Watts rating on your socket or Lamp and determine the correct Wattage bulb to use. No one can tell you what wattage bulb to use with out looking at your socket or Lamp. The formula for Watts = Volts x Amps Check out the low wattage Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs which will consume very low engergy and save money in a long run http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=cfls.pr_cfls
Is 1500 watts too much to run on same outlet with computer?
if the outlet is 20A it's ok on a 15A outlet depends what you what to run it may be too much.
Difference in dimmer switch heat 600 watts or 1000 watts?
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.
What does the watts rating on a stereo speaker mean?
how much energy it draws from your outlet or car battery.
How much power in watts does an electric clothes dryer use if it draws 20 amps of current from a 240 volt wall outlet?
4800 watts because watts = volts x amps.
