An amps to watts converter calculates electrical power from current and voltage. Used to determine the wattage of appliances and the capacity needed from a power source.
공식
W (DC) = A × V; W (AC) = A × V × PF
- A
- Current (A) — Electrical current in amperes
- V
- Voltage (V) — Electrical potential in volts
- W
- Power (W) — Electrical power in watts
- PF
- Power factor ((dimensionless)) — For AC loads; typically 0.8–1.0
단계별 가이드
- 1Watts = Amps × Volts (DC)
- 2Watts = Amps × Volts × Power Factor (AC)
- 3Power factor for motors is typically 0.8–0.95
- 4Standard voltages: 120V US, 230V EU, 240V UK

자주 묻는 질문
How do I calculate watts from amps?
Multiply amps by volts. In AC, also multiply by power factor. Example: 10 A × 240 V = 2,400 W.
Why does my kettle pull more amps than my TV?
The kettle uses more power (watts). At the same voltage, higher wattage means higher amps. Ohm's law: W = V × A.
What's a safe amperage for a standard outlet?
In the US, 15–20 A circuit breakers are standard, supporting 1,800–2,400 W at 120 V. In UK, 13 A plugs support 3,120 W at 240 V.
