There are no 'watts' in '15 amperes'. The watt is used to measure power, whereas the ampere is used to measure current. These are two completely different quantities, so you cannot convert one to another.

∙ 14y agoWatts = Volts x Amps x Power Factor
For a resistive load PF = 1 and gets less for non resistive loads. Therefore, if we have 120 V x 15 Amps we get 1800 Watts. Now as a rule of thumb we try only to load the circuit at about 80% capacity so we have 1440 watts.

∙ 13y agoIt depends on the voltage. I = P / E where I = amps, P = watts, E = voltage.
Examples:
12 volts (such as in a car):
I = 15/12
I = 1.25 amps
120 volts (like a small lamp in a US home):
I = 15/120
I = 0.125 amps

120 volts x 15 amps =1800 watts
To calculate the watts, you need to know the voltage as well. The formula to calculate watts is: Watts = Amperes x Volts. If the voltage is 120V, then 15A x 120V = 1800 watts.

∙ 14y agoA 15 amp circuit has zero watts. The formula you are looking for is W = I x E. Watts = Amps x Volts.
To calculate the total power consumption in watts, you can multiply the current in amperes by the voltage in volts. If the voltage is not known, you cannot directly convert amperes to watts.
It depends on how many amperes there are. If you have 1 amperes, then you get 260 watts. If you have 260 amperes, then you have 67,600 watts. If you have 0.001 amperes, then you have 0.26 watts. Its just watts = volts times amperes. Of course, the limiting factor is the available power behind the 260 volts, but you did not say anything about that.
To convert watts to amperes, you need to know the voltage of the system. Use the formula: Amperes = Watts / Volts. Divide the power in watts by the voltage to get the amperage.
To calculate the amperage, use the formula: Amperes = Watts / Volts. In this case, 55 kW is 55,000 watts. So, Amperes = 55,000 watts / 460 volts ≈ 119.57 amps.
The power consumed by the light bulb can be calculated using the formula P = I * V, where P is power in watts, I is current in amperes, and V is voltage in volts. In this case, the power consumed is 1.2 amperes * 12 volts = 14.4 watts.

Amps, volts and watts are interrelated, but you need to do a little math. Amps * Volts = Watts
14.4 watts
To calculate the amperage, use the formula: Amperes = Watts / Volts. In this case, 55 kW is 55,000 watts. So, Amperes = 55,000 watts / 460 volts ≈ 119.57 amps.
It is expressed in Volt-Amperes not Watts.
The power consumed by the light bulb can be calculated using the formula P = I * V, where P is power in watts, I is current in amperes, and V is voltage in volts. In this case, the power consumed is 1.2 amperes * 12 volts = 14.4 watts.
Volts X amperes = watts.
To calculate the power in watts, you will also need to know the current in amperes. The formula to calculate power is P (watts) = V (volts) x I (amperes). If you only have the voltage (30 volts) and not the current, you cannot determine the power in watts.
There is not enough information to answer your question directly... In order to determine how many volts it takes to make 4000 watts, you also need to know how many amperes there are. That is because watts is volts times amperes. For example, if you had a 120V system, you could divide 4000 watts by 120 volts to get 33 1/3 amperes.
On a 20 amp breaker, you can safely operate devices that consume up to 2400 watts (20 amps x 120 volts = 2400 watts). Exceeding this limit can trip the breaker to prevent overheating and fire hazards.
