Amps used by 32 watt fluorescent light bulbs?
If it is a 120volt light, then it is watts / volts. 32 watts / 120 = .2667 amps. <<>> fluorescent lights usually have a power factor around 0.6 so a 32 watt bulb would take around 32/(120 x 0.6) amps or 0.44 amps.
How many 200 watt light bulbs can be safely installed on a 30 amp curcuit?
If the wireing is done properly you can install as many as you want until the fuse blows. A 30 amp circuit means that up to 30 amps is safe and after that it becomes unsafe and the fuse blows. You can calculate the number of 200 W bulbs that will draw 30 amps if you know the voltage. Most 30 amp circuits are connected to 220 volts. The maximum power you can draw from this circuit, before the fuse blows, is current x volts or 30 x 220 = 6600 watts. So you should be able to connect at least 32 ,200 W bulbs to this circuit and possibly 33 bulbs which would put you right at the maximum. If your voltage is only 110 volts then the max power you can draw is 30 x 110 = 3300 watts and the max number of bulbs is 3300/200 = 16.5 which of course means only 16 bulbs.
How much can a 15W circuit breaker handle?
Answer for the US: Breakers are rated in amps, not watts. However, a 15A breaker can handle 15 amps, or about 1800 watts (using 120V), or 3600 watts (using 240V). However, this is only rated for noncontinuous loads (those not lasting for more than three hours). For continuous loads (loads lasting three hours or more), one must derate the circuit breaker by 80%. So for continuous loads, that same breaker should only have 1440 watts (using 120V), or 2880 watts (using 240V) on it.
How many amps do light bulbs draw?
Depend on watt and voltage use of light bulbs. You can use this ohm's law formular to calculate the current draw on light bulbs. I (current in amp) = P (watt)/ E (voltage) If 25W light bulb use in 115V AC (resident home) then current draw will be: 25/115 = 0.22A or 22 miliamperes. Hope this help.
How many light bulbs does it take to make a computer screen?
no there is not thousands of light bulbs on a computer screen. Instead there is a projector built in the computer projecting whatever for example google and then it appears on your screen. It is very clever i think personally
