Assuming it is a 208-volt line voltage (as normal in 3-phase) the phase voltage is that divided by sqrt(3), or 120 volts. Each phase has to supply 10 kW so the current on each phase is 83.3 amps.

To calculate the current draw, use the formula: Current (A) = Power (W) / (Voltage (V) * √3). Plugging in the values, we get Current = 30000W / (208V * √3) ≈ 78.7A. So, a 30KW strip heater operating at 208 volts 3-phase would draw approximately 78.7 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.


How many amps can handle in 12 volts a 600 volts 15 amps rated terminal bar?

The terminal strip's rating is 15 amps at 600 volts. It does not matter what the voltage is up to 600 volts, the maximum amperage allowed on the strip is 15 amps. It could be 15 amps at 12 volts or 15 amps at 600 volts or any voltage in between.


What is the number of AMPS for a 240V 2400 watt water heater?

To calculate the amperage, use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. In this case, it would be 2400 watts / 240 volts = 10 amps. Therefore, the water heater would draw 10 amps of current.


How many amps does a block heater draw?

A block heater typically draws around 6 to 10 amps of current. It may vary depending on the wattage of the heater and the voltage of the electrical system it is connected to.


How many amps will a 400 watt heater cartrige draw at 240 volts?

To calculate the amperage, you can use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. In this case, a 400-watt heater cartridge at 240 volts would draw 1.67 amps.


What is the current through the 150 ohm heater?

At 110 volts it is 0.8 amps. At 220 it is 0.4 amps. I=E/R. I=amps.E=volts R=resistance.


How many amps will an electric heater use if 440 volts are applied to it and the resistance is measured at 80ohms?

The formula you are looking for is I = E/R. Amps = Volts/Resistance.


How many amps does a 2000 watt heater draw at 240 volts?

Amps * Volts = Watts So, Watts / Volts = Amps 2000 / 240 = 8.333 Amps You should run the circuit on a two pole 15 Amp breaker, using 14 AWG, 2 conductor (plus ground) wire, just so you have a little safety factor in the circuit size.


How many amps do you need if you have a 480 volt space heater?

The heater should have a wattage rating (very few list amps). Calculate the amps using the wattage and voltage. Amps = Watts/Volts(480).


How many amps does a 2000 watt heater draw at 240 volts on each line?

For a single phase circuit, the equation you are looking for is I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts.


How many amps is block heater for 2500ram 1999?

Find the block heater and look for the nameplate on it. It will be in watts. Use the following equation to find the amperage that it draws. Amps = Watts/Volts. The voltage to use for the truck will be 12 volts.


How much current would a 5-kW heater draw with 230 volts?

The formula you are looking for is I = W/E, Amps = Watts/Volts. Amps = 5000/230 =21.7 amps. The wire size to run this heater would be a #10 copper conductor. The supply breaker would be a two pole 30 amp breaker.
