kilowatt to amp

And if connected at 240V it does not require a neutral connection.

Every range, dryer, cooktop and whatever other appliances connected to 120/240 that I have wired have all had a neutral. How else are the 120 volt loads that are inside supposed to work without a neutral? Besides the NEC now requires a seperate neutral for these appliances.

OHMS LAW I=P/E when I awoke it hit me that 5.4KW @120/240
is 5.4 * 1000 = 5400 watts/240=22.5Amps
and 4.8KW @120/240
is 4.8* 1000=4800 watts /240=20 amps this was so basic and yet I made it so complicated sorry everyone

 

[global]

I made a simple ohm's law problem much more complicated I=P/E
5.4kw * 1000= 5400 watts divided by 240 = 22.5 amps
P/E=I
4.8Kw*1000=4800 watts Divided by 240 volts =20 amps
P/E=I
These appliances are a microwave @ 5.4KW 120/240
And a oven @ 4.8KW 120/240

I personally have never seen a microwave that runs off of 240.

Does any one know the formula to convert from jiggawatts to kilovars by any chance?

Depends: what's the PF? :wink:

I have, but not residential.

You haven't been to Europe then?
:wink:

 

[Besoeker]

It's single phase. Just like that neutral in that powerpoint presentation was a neutral and not a ground. Now I'm beginning to understand why you thought it was a ground.

Inaccurate and off-topic.

You need to get out more.:smile:

Off topic perhaps, but very accurate. If you remember , you were the only one who thought that it was a ground and that there was a difference in the drawing.

I just installed a GE Advantium residential one a month ago. Required a 2 pole, 240 volt, 30 amp circuit.

that's a nice looking microwave.

 

[LarryFine]

It must have a browning element in it, and maybe even a convection fan.

Ya think?

 

[iwire]

FWIW when I wired a 7-11 the micros required 20 amp 208 single phase circuits, no browning just some serious microwave power.

I try to, but you know how it is for us old farts.

The faster they can heat food, the faster they can sell it. In and out, in and out.

I am not sure I would call what they sell 'food'.

It's similar to the way the ladies get better looking as closing time approaches. :wink:

1.21 jiggawatts per kilovar. You're welcome.

What voltage are you running through the Flux Capacitor? :smile:
