Can 400volts heater element get supply from 230 volts?

Yes you can run a 400 volt heater on 230 volts but you will not get the full wattage rating that the heater produces at 400 volts.


How do you change a heater from 120 volts 3a to 240 volts 1.5 a?

the simplest solution is by connecting two 120v 3amps heater in series , the same can be used directly on 240v. However the current drawn will still be 3 amps & Not 1.5 amps. The heater output power will be double that of a single heater running on 120v. ( or equvalent to two heaters operating on 120v. supply ) A more expensive method is to use a stepdown transformer which can be powered on 240v & connect the heater on the transformer 120v side. this method will consume approx. 1.5 amps from the 240v supply.


Why do you only have 110 power to your electric water heater?

There are small water heaters that run on 110 volts. However if yours is a large 240 volt heater and you only have 110 volts going to it, then it is fused and one on the fuses has blown in the service panel.


Can a 277 unit heater be supplied with 240 volts?

Absolutely not!! 277 volts is developed from a 480 volt power supply employing 1 conductor and a neutral. 240 volt power comprises two hot conductors and NO neutral.


How many amps will a 10 kw electric heater operating at 480 volts?

Volts times amps equals watts, so the question is - what times 480 makes 10,000, and the answer is 10,000 divided by 480. That is 10,000 divided by 500 and then increased by 4% which is 20.8 amps.

Can you run one 1500 watt heater on a 125V- 15A 60Hz power strip?

Yes, a 1500 watt heater operating on 120 volts has an amperage of A = W/V. Amps = Watts/Volts = 1500/120 = 12.5 amps. It is not a recommended practice to do so.


A 2000watt heater draws 8amps What is its rated voltage?

Power = (current) x (voltage)2,000 = 8 VV = 2,000/8 = 250 volts if the power factor is ' 1 ' and everything is operating as marked


What is the voltage of a small electric heater if the heater is drawing 12 amperes and has a resistance of 10 ohms?

Voltage is current times resistance, 1.2 x 110 = 132 volts.


Can i run a 240 volt water heater on 120 volt?

No. A water heater requires a 240 volt connection and cannot be re-wired to run on 120 volts. There isn't enough amperage in 120 volts to power the heating rods that are inside.


Can 400volts heater element get supply from 230 volts?

Yes you can run a 400 volt heater on 230 volts but you will not get the full wattage rating that the heater produces at 400 volts.


A hot-water heater has an 8-ohm element that operates at 240 V The power that's consumed by this water heater is?

VOLTS x (VOLTS/OHMS) = WATTS 240 X (240/8) = 7200 Watts = 7.2KWatts


If a 325 watt heater has a current of 6.0A what is the resistance?

Watts = Current x Volts with your resistive heat application. To figure out resistance you need to know voltage and current. Since you are drawing 6 amps then Volts = 325/6. This means that there is about 54 volts supplying the heater which seems like a very strange supply voltage. Since Volts = Current x Resistance the resistance = 325/36.

Can you install a 120V baseboard heater on 110 amp power service?

Yes. The voltage of 120 volts is a nominal figure. The utility company has a plus or minus tolerance from 110 to 120 volts. This tolerance is based on the figure of 115 volts.
