Both of these figures along with the voltage should be on the nameplate of the appliance or in the spec. sheet in the manual that came with the appliance. All appliances are a little different and without knowing the names and models it is hard to give a generic figure. Usually a washer uses a 15 amp circuit and a dryer uses a 30 amp 2 pole circuit.

How much power in watts does an electric clothes dryer use if it draws 20 amps of current from a 240 volt wall outlet?

4800 watts because watts = volts x amps.


What a circuit of hair dryer 1200 watts 240 v?

Watts equals volts multiplied by amps. This would therefore be a five amp circuit.


Is one electric dryer "greener" than another?

Yes, there are many "green" dryers on the market and some are better than others depending on how good the technology is. It depends on several factors: dry time, watts, and amps. Here's a list of hand dryers from "greenest" descending as per the manufacturer specs and a 120 V model: Mitsubishi Jet Towel (lowest settings): 12 seconds, 450 watts, 9.8 amps American Dryer eXt: 12 seconds, 540 watts, 4.5 amps Mitsubishi Jet Towel (highest settings): 10 seconds, 1060 watts, 9.8 amps American Dryer gXt: 10 seconds, 1500 watts, 12.5 amps Dyson Airblade: 10 seconds, 1400 watts, 12 amps Xlerator: 10 seconds, 1500 watts, 12.5 amps I guess you could also look at how many watts it takes to dry a pair of hands in 10 seconds as well, but it looks like Mitsubishi and American Dryer make the greenest hand dryers.


How many amps does a hair dryer use with 25 volts 60 hz and 1500 watts?

Amps = Watts / (Volts x Power Factor). Now a hair dryer has a motor and a resistive heater so if we assume a PF = .8 the answer is: 1500 / 20 = 75 amps. Since it is unlikely that you have a 75 amp hair dryer you must mean 125 volts. The answer for that would be 1500 / 100 = 15 amps which is still high, but believable. If we assume a Power Factor of 1 and ignore the motor contribution to Power Factor we have 1500 / 125 = 12 amps.


The differene between amps and watts?

Amps are units of current, watts are units of power. Watts are the product of Amps times Volts. Watts = Amps x Volts.


What exact is stack able washer dryer?

Instead of the washer and dryer being side by side, the dryer is stacked on top of the washer.


37.5 amps converted in watts?

To convert amps into watts a voltage is needed. Watts = Amps x Volts.


How do you compute the 2000 watts in 220 volt to how many amps?

watts = volts * amps--> Amps = watts/ volts therefore; 2000/220= 9.09 amps


How many amps does a 1875 watt hair dryer takes?

11 amps Volts X Amps = Watts so if your dryer is plugged into a 120V circuit (common in U.S.) you would divide: 1875 Watts / 120 Volts = 15.6 Amps
