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.

How many amps does a 5000-watt inverter draw from a 24 volt system?

A 5000-watt inverter on a 24 volt system draws approximately 208 amps (5000 watts / 24 volts = 208.33 amps). This calculation assumes 100% efficiency, so actual power draw may be slightly higher.


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


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.


Will a 10 hp 220 volt motor draw large amounts of electricity?

Convert Volt-amps to total amps?

To convert Volt-amps (VA) to total amps, you would need to know the voltage of the circuit. Since VA is the apparent power and is the product of voltage and current, you would divide the VA by the voltage to get the total amps. The formula is Total Amps = VA / Volts.


How many amps would a 250 watt 120 volt deicer draw?

To calculate the amperage, use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. For a 250 watt deicer on a 120 volt circuit, the amperage drawn would be 2.08 amps.
