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.

How many watts does an electric water heater use?

for a large one it is 4,000 watts and for a smaller one it is 1,000 watts


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.


What watts dose the heater have to be in a turtle tank?

it all depends on the amount of water you can usually get by with a 10 gallon heater


A hot-water heater has an 8-ohm element that operates at 240 V The power that's consumed by this water heater is?

VOLTS x (VOLTS/OHMS) = WATTS 240 X (240/8) = 7200 Watts = 7.2KWatts


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.


A 208V water heater can te be replaced by a 240V water heater?

Yes but you will not get the full watt rating out of the tank. Watts = amps x volts. Say the tank draws 20 amps. 20A x 240V = 4800 watts. 20A x 208V = 4160 watts. It will take longer to heat your water with less wattage.


How many watts does a 240 volt water heater use?

Different 240 volt watt water heaters use different amounts of watts! Look at your water heater. It should have a plate that lists the watts! On the other hand, the water heater only uses watts when it is heating water. If the family uses paper plates and takes brief showers by getting wet, turning off the shower, applying soap, and then rinsing, it will use a lot less electricity than if every member of the family runs out the tank of hot water taking a hot shower every day.


If a heater claims to be 1500 watts how long would it take for that heater to draw 1500 watts?

Watts is the amount of power the heater has and amps would be the draw- if it is a 120 volt heater than the amps would be 12.5 amps and it is instantaneous


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).
