A(z) Watts to Amps kiszámítása
Mi az a Watts to Amps?
A watts to amps converter calculates electrical current from power and voltage using Ohm's law. It is used for sizing circuit breakers, fuses, and cables for electrical installations.
Képlet
A (DC) = W / V; A (AC) = W / (V × PF)
- W
- Power (W) — Electrical power in watts
- V
- Voltage (V) — Electrical potential difference in volts
- A
- Current (A) — Electrical current in amperes
- PF
- Power factor ((dimensionless)) — AC circuits only; typically 0.8–1.0

- 1Amps = Watts ÷ Volts (DC circuits)
- 2Amps = Watts ÷ (Volts × Power Factor) (AC circuits)
- 3Standard voltages: 120V (US), 230V (UK/EU), 240V (AU)
- 4Power factor for resistive loads = 1.0

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between watts and amps?
Watts measure power (energy per unit time). Amps measure current flow. Relationship: Watts = Volts × Amps.
Why do I need to know this?
For sizing circuit breakers, fuses, and electrical cables. An undersized wire can overheat; an incorrectly rated breaker won't protect the circuit.
What is power factor?
In AC circuits, power factor accounts for reactive loads (motors, inductors). A pure resistive load has PF = 1.0. Motors typically have PF = 0.8–0.95.
