Convert Volt-amps to total amps?
Answer:
To find your amps, divide your volt amps listed by the voltage you are using (and the device is rated for).
Power in watts = Volts X Amps
Volts equals amps X resistance. All of these formulas can be transposed to find the missing element.
If something is listed as 360 Volt amps and the voltage used is 120 volts it draws 3
amps. So if the same device was used on a 240 volt circuit it would draw 1.5 amps. the power company charges for power (watts) so the volt amps are listed on the device and costs you the same regardless of the voltage used.
If the same thing was designed for 12 volts it would draw 30 amps
