A 1875 watt hair dryer typically draws around 15.6 amps. This can be calculated by dividing the wattage of the hair dryer by the voltage of the outlet it is plugged into, which is usually 120 volts in North America.
A typical household hair dryer requires around 1.5 to 2.0 kVA (kiloVolt-Amps) to operate. It's important to check the specific power requirements of your hair dryer, as this can vary depending on the model and brand.
Without knowing the wattage that the hair dryer is rated at an amperage can not be stated. If you find the wattage, use this equation to find the amperage. I = W/E, Amps = Watts/Volts.
Amps = Watts / (Volts x Power Factor). Now a hair dryer has a motor and a resistive heater so if we assume a PF = .8 the answer is: 1500 / 20 = 75 amps. Since it is unlikely that you have a 75 amp hair dryer you must mean 125 volts. The answer for that would be 1500 / 100 = 15 amps which is still high, but believable. If we assume a Power Factor of 1 and ignore the motor contribution to Power Factor we have 1500 / 125 = 12 amps.
In some parts of the world, an 1875 watt hair dryer can and does use 220 volts from a 220 volt outlet?
It depends on the model, if the hair dryer is a 1500 watt hair dryer, then it uses 1500 watts on high heat. If the hair dryer is a 2000 watt hair dryer, then it uses 2000 watts on high heat. Hair dryers come in all different size wattage, so it depends on the size wattage of the dryer. Most hair dryers are 1500 watts.
The Revlon 1875 watt Travel Hair Dryer is enough.
The ionic brand Lava Flo professional hair dryer uses 1875 watts.
The current in a hair dryer plugged into an outlet in the US (120V) is typically around 10-12.5 Amps. In Europe (230V), it would be around 5-6 Amps.

A typical hair dryer draws around 10-15 amps when operating at its highest setting. It is important to check the specific amperage rating of the hair dryer you are using to ensure it is compatible with the electrical circuit you are using.

The amount of time it takes to dry hair with a hair dryer can vary depending on the length and thickness of your hair, as well as the heat and speed setting of the hair dryer. On average, it typically takes about 15-30 minutes to fully dry hair with a hair dryer.
A typical household hair dryer requires around 1.5 to 2.0 kVA (kiloVolt-Amps) to operate. It's important to check the specific power requirements of your hair dryer, as this can vary depending on the model and brand.
The current flowing through the hair dryer would be 4.8 amps (120 V / 25 Ω = 4.8 A).
Without knowing the wattage that the hair dryer is rated at an amperage can not be stated. If you find the wattage, use this equation to find the amperage. I = W/E, Amps = Watts/Volts.
Most hair dryers are rated at least 800 watts to as much as 1875 watts. Given that, a 500 watt generator will NOT run a hair dryer. You would need at least a 2000 watt generator, just be be on the safe side.
