Check the appliance's specifications on the strip, tag or plate that is usually fixed either on the back or somewhere on the frame. On there you will find its required operating voltage and wattage that it draws.
If your home has 240 volt line voltage just divide the watts by the volts for the answer.
Example: a 2400 watt water heater for a 240 volt line using the formula watts / volts = amps would give you 10 amps. For a 120 volt appliance it would be 20 amps.

∙ 14y agoThe average 120 V space heater uses around 1500 watts and draws 12.5 amps, which is quite a bit. If run for only one hour (during a billing month), your power company will bill you for 1.5 kilowatt-hours--just for the space heater!! If run for 10 hours during a billing month, they will charge for 15 kWH. It adds up fast! So if you're using a space heater frequently, and your power bill seems high, that's why! Space heaters are not efficient when heating a large area. Also, I don't really like space heaters because they can be very dangerous if not used properly.

∙ 13y agoBlock heaters are in the range of 1200 watts. They should be on a dedicated circuit. Many garage outside plugs are on the same circuit as the garage inside
receptacles. People who have a second refrigerator or freezer in the the garage should be aware that the breaker will trip if both the block heater and the appliance try and operate at the same time.

∙ 13y agoIt is dependent on the wattage rating of the heater. The higher the wattage, more electricity is consumed. Watts = Amps x Volts.

How many watts does a small ceramic heater use?
A ceramic heater uses the same amount as a regular heater. Most heater use 1500 watts so in one hour a 1500 watt home heater will use 12.5 amp hours.
What if your electric heater is rated 5 amps it is plugged into a 111 volt outlet how much power is generated?
OK. First, note that your heater doesn't 'generate' power. If it did, you could sell the power. Your heater consumes power. The electric company generates it, and you pay them for it. The power consumed on a household circuit is nominally (Voltage) multiplied by (Current). The voltage delivered to your house is nominally 117 volts AC, although it can vary by a bit. If the current through the heater is exactly 5 Amp, then the power is (117 x 5) = 585 watts, or 0.585 KW.
Does an electric fan on a gas space heater use more or the same amount of power on high or low?
Will use More On High If the Temperature increases
How many kWh does an immersion heater use?
Depends on the waatage of the immersion heater. Read the name plate details of the heater - it shows the wattage of the heater. Assuming the wattage is 1KW (1000Watt) the KHW will be 1KHW if you use the heater for 1 hour.
How much per day will a 1500 watt heater cost you to run if im charged 111748 kwh?
What it costs me to run a heater does not depend on how much you are charged, but a 1500 watt heater would use 1500 watt-hours or 1.5 kWh for every hour it is run. Run for 24 hours it would use 36 kWh, also known as 36 units.
