The Watts to Amps Calculator is a simple tool that helps you convert electrical power (in watts) to electric current (in amps). This is useful for determining how much current a device draws, ensuring your circuit can handle the load safely.
How to Find Watts
Watts (W) represent electrical power and can be calculated using the formula:
Watts (W) = Volts (V) × Amps (A)
If you know the voltage and current, multiply them to find the power in watts.
How to Calculate Amps from Watts
To convert watts to amps, use the formula:
Amps (A) = Watts (W) ÷ Volts (V)
How to Use the Calculator
Enter the power in watts (W).
Enter the voltage in volts (V).
Click Calculate to get the current in amps (A).
Practical Example
Example: A 1000W microwave running on 120V household power.
Calculation:
Result: The microwave draws about 8.33 amps.
This helps you check if your circuit (usually 15A or 20A in homes) can safely support the appliance.
