Best Answer

Watts= rate of using energy

Amps= current flow

Think of it as a bucket of water with a hole in it.

Watts is the amount of water leaking from the bucket (1 gallon)

Amps is the size of the hole ( it took 3 minutes for that 1 gallon to leak out of the bucket)

What if the input power is 208 volts line to line two phase 8 amps to a heating element vs 110 volts 8 amps to a heating element How is watts calculated?

To calculate watts, you need to multiply the voltage (in volts) by the current (in amps). For the 208 volts, 8 amps heating element: Watts = 208 volts * 8 amps = 1664 watts For the 110 volts, 8 amps heating element: Watts = 110 volts * 8 amps = 880 watts

How much more electric will you use with a 1000amp motor vs a 750 amp motor?

Assuming the same voltage and power factor for the two motors. Watts = Volts x Amps x PF so the power of 1000 A motor is Watts = 1000 x V x PF and the 750 A motor is Watts = 750 x V x PF. So (Watts for 1000A) / (Watts for 750A) = 1.33 This means the 1000 A motor uses about 33% more electricity than the 750 A motor.


How much full load ampere in 2 horse power compressor?

It depends on the voltage of the compressor. Two horse power (electric) is 1492 watts, but watts are volts times amps, so you need to know the voltage. Since the motor is an inductive load, you will also need to know the power factor, so as to compensate for true vs apparent power.

How many kilowatt hours does an air conditioner use per month running 12 hours a day?

on average how many kilowatts does a house use per day in electricity / gasAnswerA kilowatt is a unit of power, which is the rate at which you consume energy. The amount of energy consumed is expressed in kilowatt hours. So your question should read: "How many kilowatt hours of energy does the average home consume over the period of an hour?" As expressed, your question is meaningless, because you do not 'use' kilowatts.The answer is difficult, because it depends on the size of your house, the number of occupants, where you live (cold vs hot climate), the type of appliances you use -e.g. air conditioning, central heating, etc. If you think that your home is typical, check out your electricity bill -it will tell you have many kilowatt hours you've consumed over the billing period. It's then a case of simple mathematics to determine how many kilowatt hours you consumed over one hour.


Marshall amps vs Mesa boogie amps?

Both amps can be good, but it all depends on personal preference. I prefer Mesa to Marshall, because I think they sound better for my style, but either will do nicely. The Marshall has el84 tubes, the Boogie has either 6l6 or el84's, and the Mesa is American made, vs British, or in some cases, Asian made for the MG series. To get a Marshall worked on you have to send it all the way to Britain, even small fixes, to not void the warranty, but I'm not sure about Mesa/Boogies. Hope this helps : )
