如何计算Amps to Watts
learn.whatIsHeading
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.
公式
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
分步指南
- 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
例题解析
输入
13 amps at 240V
结果
3,120 watts (standard UK plug max)
输入
20 amps at 120V
结果
2,400 watts (US circuit)
输入
32 amps at 240V
结果
7,680 watts (EV charger)
常见问题
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.
