RafaA 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.

How many kva to run 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.
What is the current in the hair dryer if it is plugged into a 110- V outlet?
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.
How many amps does a hair dryer use with 25 volts 60 hz and 1500 watts?
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.
Can a 240v be plugged in to a 220v socket?
In some parts of the world, an 1875 watt hair dryer can and does use 220 volts from a 220 volt outlet?
Why doesn't a 1875 watt hair dryer get as hot as a 1600 watt?
A 1875-watt hair dryer may not get as hot as a 1600-watt one due to differences in design, airflow, and temperature settings. Higher wattage typically translates to more power, but if the 1875-watt dryer has a more efficient motor or greater airflow, it may prioritize drying speed over maximum temperature. Additionally, features like multiple heat settings can affect the perceived heat output. Therefore, the actual temperature reached can vary based on these factors rather than just wattage alone.
