The amperage that a chandelier draws is based on the amount of bulbs and the wattage of the bulbs used in the fixture. Count the amount of bulbs and multiply that number by the wattage of the bulbs. Take this total wattage and use this formula. I = W/E. Amps = Watts/ Volts.

To answer this question the total wattage of the fixture is needed. To find this you need to find out the wattage of one bulb. If all of the bulbs are the same multiply the wattage of the bulb times 19. Use this total wattage in the following equation. I = W/E, Amps = Watts/Volts. In North America a #14 conductor is rated at 15 amps but has to be de-rated for a continuous load. This allows the conductor to carry 12 amps legally.A #12 conductor is rated at 20 amps but has to be de-rated for a continuous load. This allows the conductor to carry 16 amps legally.A #10 conductor is rated at 30 amps but has to be de-rated for a continuous load. This allows the conductor to carry 24 amps legally.Hopefully the chandelier falls within this amperage range
There are typically around 32,000 crystals in a Schonbek chandelier of that size. This number can vary depending on the specific design and size of the chandelier.
Yes, you can use a dimmer switch with a chandelier as long as the chandelier is compatible with dimming. Make sure to check the wattage rating of the dimmer switch to ensure it can handle the load of the chandelier. It's also a good idea to consult with a professional electrician for installation to ensure safety and proper functionality.
To find the amperage, you can use the formula: Amps = Watts/Volts. Plugging in the values, you get Amps = 1800 Watts / 110 Volts ≈ 16.36 Amps.
To calculate the output amps of a 600kVA generator at 240V, you would use the formula Amps = kVA / Volts. In this case, it would be 600kVA / 240V = 2500 amps.
