Watts and Hz measure different things, so they are not directly equal. Watts measure power consumption, while Hz measure frequency. Hz refers to the number of cycles per second in an alternating current system, while watts refer to the rate at which energy is used or produced.

That question does not make any sense.

60Hz is short for "60 Hertz." It means sixty times per second. What is the wattage of sixty times per second? See what I mean?

60Hz happens to be the frequency of the alternating current supplied by the national electric power grid in the U.S.A., and in a few other countries. Are you asking how many watts you can pull from the power grid? That would be something you could discuss with you local electric utility. Are you asking how many watts you can safely pull from any one electrical outlet? The answer depends on the type of outlet. The most common type (NEMA 6-15) can safely handle about 1500 watts if it is properly installed.

So electricity moves very near the speed of light ~186,000 miles per second.

There are 5280 feet in a mile. which means electricity moves at about ~982,080,000 feet per second. 60 Hz means sixty cycles per second or 60 waves per second 982,080,000/60 gives you wave length. or ~16368000 feet per wave.

Watts and Frequency (Hz) are two different measurements. Wattage is the product of amps times volts. Frequency (Hz) is a measurement used with alternating current. Alternating current changes it's direction (cycles) so many times per second. 60 Hz is 60 cycles per second.

Amps and Hz are unrelated. Perhaps you should get a basic understanding of electricity by either reading some books on basic electricity or by attending school and listening to the science teacher.

That depends on how much voltage is applied, because Volts x Amps = Watts. So find out your Voltage and multiply it by the amperage to get your wattage.

60Hz is standard for AC (hence the term Alternating Current) and used for long distance power transmissions and even household currents. Usually what is coming out of the socket is around 120 Volts (240 for appliances and other countries). So applying this formula to this is simple: 120Vx5A=600 Watts or 240Vx5A=1200 Watts. So on so forth...

Simply multiplying volts times amps gives what's called Volt-Amperes or apparent power. Volt-Amperes equal watts (real power) in largely resistive circuits. Circuits with motors, Transformers and inductors have power factors that must be taken into consideration when calculating watts. For example, in a motor circuit with a power factor .6, the watts would be Volts X Amps X .6

They're entirely different entities and don't compare like that at all. Watts is power, and Hertz is rate of change. Go back and read up on the definitions.

How many watts is a 60 hz microwave?

The wattage of a microwave is typically between 600 to 1200 watts. The frequency, in this case 60 Hz, refers to the electrical supply frequency rather than the power output of the microwave.


How many hz is 1500 watts and 120 volts?

It could be anything from zero to infinity because Hertz are not proportional to either watts or volts. But 120 v supplies are common in America, where the frequency happens to be 60 Hz.


How do you convert Hz to Watts?

Hz (hertz) and watts are different units of measurement. Hz measures frequency while watts measure power. You cannot directly convert Hz to watts without additional information about the system such as voltage or current.


Do you have to use a transformer if your device have 900 Watts 220 V and 60 Hz with 7.5 amps?

If your device uses 900 Watts at 7.5 Amps, then it requires 120 volts. If you want to use it where the supplied current is 220 volts, then you'll need a transformer - but only if the device can operate on 50 Hz. Most places that use 220 Volts supply it at 50 Hz. If your device says it can operate on 50 Hz you can use a transformer.


How do you convert 50 hertz to watts in Europe?

To convert frequency (Hz) to power (Watts), you cannot do a direct conversion as they are different units. Hertz (Hz) is a measurement of frequency, while Watts (W) is a unit of power. The frequency of 50 Hz in Europe refers to the cycles per second in the electrical supply, not the power consumption. To determine power consumption in watts, you would need additional information such as voltage and current.

How many watts is 60Hz?

60 hertz (hz is an abbreviation for hertz) is another way to say that something repeats/oscillates 60 times per second. This is referred to as an object's frequency. For example, if you had a disk that spun through 100 rotations in a second, it would have a rotational frequency of 100 Hz.


What is the difference between Hz and watts?

'Hz' is the symbol for 'hertz', the SI unit for frequency -equivalent to a 'cycle per second'. The frequency of your supply is 50 Hz in Europe, or 60 Hz in North America.The 'watt' is the SI unit for power, which is the rate at which your electrical appliances use energy.
