So berechnen Sie Amps to Watts

learn.whatIsHeading

An amps to watts converter calculates electrical power from current and voltage. Used to determine the wattage of appliances and the capacity needed from a power source.

Formel

W (DC) = A × V; W (AC) = A × V × PF
A
Current (A) — Electrical current in amperes
V
Voltage (V) — Electrical potential in volts
W
Power (W) — Electrical power in watts
PF
Power factor ((dimensionless)) — For AC loads; typically 0.8–1.0

Schritt-für-Schritt-Anleitung

  1. 1Watts = Amps × Volts (DC)
  2. 2Watts = Amps × Volts × Power Factor (AC)
  3. 3Power factor for motors is typically 0.8–0.95
  4. 4Standard voltages: 120V US, 230V EU, 240V UK

Häufig gestellte Fragen

How do I calculate watts from amps?

Multiply amps by volts. In AC, also multiply by power factor. Example: 10 A × 240 V = 2,400 W.

Why does my kettle pull more amps than my TV?

The kettle uses more power (watts). At the same voltage, higher wattage means higher amps. Ohm's law: W = V × A.

What's a safe amperage for a standard outlet?

In the US, 15–20 A circuit breakers are standard, supporting 1,800–2,400 W at 120 V. In UK, 13 A plugs support 3,120 W at 240 V.
