How many watts is in a 15amp braker - Heating & Cooling

10meter radio transcievers
Alinco DR-135UK 25.000-29.90 MHz (programmable) - needs ALINCO ERW-10.Ham radio? 0-25 Watt USB/LSB (variable)
not transmitting it blows fuse. right>?
bad caps inside shorted too cause
or bad DC power regulator )
assumes using right sized fuse. answers.
it does need service,
if blows only TX mode, antenna good.
the fuse needs more amps to TX 25times more
12amp min, 15amp fuse or 20.
one model said 15amp fuse. DR135, books on UK version not easy to find ask maker , they have vast manuals I see

9A at 120v is 1080 Watts, so it should work fine.

VT 2300F Step Up Down Transformer with American Grounded Plug 2300 Watts

The wattage rating for the router is just under 2000 watts. You'll want a converter with a wattage rating more than the rating of the router.
VT3000 Step Up Down Voltage Transformer 3000 Watts
I would personally go for the 3000 watt converter.

Most are green when functioning properly. Many have no lights at all. Try depressing the reset and see if the outlet works again. If not there are other things to look for. Often times one GFI outlet feeds multiple more outlets from the "load" connection on the back side of the GFI. If there is something wet, overloading the rating, or something with a fault in any of the outlets multipled off the single GFI it will trip. Disconnect all devices then attempt to reset. If that doesn't work and you possess some electrical skills pull the GFI outlet and disconnect the wires going to the "load" connection (While power is off) Re-energize and attempt to reset the GFI Outlet. If it resets your problem is beyond that outlet in the circuit of what you disconnect. You may not have found all the affected outlets. FYI if you have a 15amp GFI the rule of thumb is you can put more devices on outlets working off or through the GFI that add up to more than 1500 watts. If it is a 20amp GFI a quick rule of thumb is no load over 2000 watts. Space heaters, blow dryers, and hair curlers are often 1800 watts each. One alone and can trip a 15 amp GFI.

Electricians use the 80% rule.
When watt rating is 1000, we say 800 watts maximum. Same for wire ratings, and circuit breaker ratings, switch ratings, etc. 80% rule is the rule for electricians.
The closer you run a device at full load, the warmer it gets and the more quickly the device fails.
The signal that a dimmer is failing is heat.
I suggest replacing 1000watt dimmer with 1500watt dimmer, or reducing load.
All dimmers get warm, but should not be hot. 1500watt dimmers usually have aluminum fins on the face to dissipate heat. So 1500watt dimmers look different than 1000watt dimmers.
If you reduce load, and 1000watt dimmer still gets hot with reduced load, then dimmer has gone bad.

hi.

if it is 150 watts TOTAL power then you should use a 15 amp fuse.
(150w / 12v = 12.5amps, 15amp fuse should provide the correct protection.)

if the system is 150 watts PER CHANNEL. then it will be 300 watts total and a 30 amp fuse should be used.
(300w / 12v = 25 amps. 30amp fuse should be used.)

30 amp is normally the highest fuse recommended for an car audio system, so i would not use higher than this without taking the unit to a qualified auto electrician, to get the system checked for safety. if you have any further questions please feel free to ask.

Determine Hp (horsepower), wattage and volts. There is a label that shows these values

1) Indoor Jacuzzi pumps are usually 115Volt and 1 Hp to 1.5 Hp. 1 Hp or horsepower is 746 Watt, 1.5 Hp is 1119 Watts.

If you need more help, re-post electrical details about your jacuzzi and exactly what you want timer to do.

Hi,circiut braker trips only when the load on it is to much.
That is carry what is bigger than it watt, or can not carry too well. If you have another amp., you can put some load on that to reduce to braker always tripping off.

If that is the only amp. you have in what you are doing, just reduce the amp. volume to half(setting at 12 O CLOCK). it will work, but will not be too loud as before.

Take care.

Yes, a 20-amp, double pole breaker will easily support that heater.

The calculation:

Watts = Volts x Amps

750 watts = 240 volts * x

x = 3.1 Amps


Charlie

These are only 1500 watt heaters.

They 'could' heat a 20 x 20 foot room (with good, tight construction), with a slow temperture rise.
