Which ever one you purchased. They are all rated different, if your talking 50gal
well most are around 4500watts. But somewhere on the tank or the paper work that you got with the heater,tells you what wattage of the elements is.
If you can't find it, you should be able to see who the MFG of the heater is and model#,
you can go online to the mfg website and find info on the heater.

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 watts does an immersion use?
An immersion heater typically uses around 1500-2000 watts of power when heating water. The exact wattage can vary depending on the size and type of the immersion heater.
How many watts or amps draw on a GE water heater model se50m12aa01?
The GE water heater SE50M12AA01 is a 5500 watts or 5.5 Kilowatts water tank. The amperage on such a tank is I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts. Since most hot water tanks in North America use a voltage of 240, the amps will be 22.9 amps. It must be fed with a #10 conductor from a 30 amp breaker.
How do you calculate the current for single phase water heater?
To calculate the current for a single-phase water heater, you can use the formula: Current (A) = Power (W) / Voltage (V). Determine the power rating of the water heater in watts and the voltage it operates at (usually 120V or 240V in residential settings), then divide the power by the voltage to find the current in amperes (A).
Will a 5500 watt generator run a electric water heater?
The average size water tank is 4500 watts. The generator's supply will be large enough to operate the water tank. Larger tanks over 5000 watts will not heat correctly.
