The power available from a 110 VAC outlet can be calculated using the formula P = V x I, where P is power in watts, V is voltage in volts (110V in this case) and I is current in amps. The maximum power output can be estimated as 1100 watts for a standard 110 VAC outlet.
To convert watts to amperes, you need to know the voltage of the circuit. However, if we assume a standard voltage of 120V, you can use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. Therefore, at 120V, 60 watts would be equal to 0.5 amps.
Since power = voltage * current we have current=power/voltage so 3500 watts/230 volts = about 15.218 amperes in a heater using a resistance to generate heat. This should be valid even though the "230 vac" indicates that it is an AC circuit and not a DC circuit.
Multiply the current by the voltage: 120 times 0.3, which is 40 watts.
The Shop-vac 6 has 8.4 amps and has been a popular vaccuum for many years in shops and in homes as well! This particular one got above average reviews and it doesn't use too much power to run efficiently.

Let's start with a typical 110 VAC service. You probably have 20 amp breakers in the service in the garage, and with at least 2 breakers, we have some idea of the theoretical electrical consumption. Remember, Volts X Amps = WATTS, so 110VAC X (2 breakers X 20AMPs) = 110 X 2 X 20 = 2200 WATTS
The terminology for VAC is Voltage Alternating Current. As for big watts, it is not electrical terminology, it could be a way of expressing maximum permitted wattage. Watts is the product of amps times volts. W = A x V.
Watts = current x volts for a resistive load. You need to know a voltage to calculate amps. If it is a 120 VAC residential voltage it would be a whopping 266,000/120 = A or 2,216.7 Amps. If it is 240 VAC then half that. To put that in perspective the service to a typical residence might be between 100 and 200 Amps.

Every appliance has a power consumption rating on a label somewhere. Just remember the conversion formula: Volts X Amps = Watts, then you can easily convert between amps and watts. Household voltage in U.S and Canada is 115 VAC +/- a little.

To know Amps you need to know the voltage and power factor. For a pure resistive load and a normal house voltage of 120 VAC then you just divide wattage by voltage to get Amps. Power factor is a maximum of one for resistive load and decreases with various inductive loads that cause current and voltage to be out of phase. Example 1: 1600 watts / 120 volts = 13.3 amps Example 2: 15 amp outlet x 120 volts = 1800 watts Best guess in your case is 13.3 Amps at 120 Volts assuming a load like an electric heater or incandescent bulbs.
Using 110 volt service, 5,000/110= 45 amps
To convert kilowatts to amps, you need to know the voltage of the circuit. The formula to calculate amps is: Amps = kilowatts / (volts * power factor). For example, if the voltage is 120V, then the amps would be 100A for a 12kW load.
