I'm after a formula for working out what ampage is being used?

Question

In Australia, the maximum amp rating on a house hold circuit is 16Amps.

I presume there are more than one circuit in the house.

If I want to run a couple of heaters and/or other appliances, is there a formula for enterinng in wattage or kw/h or something to get the total amps used within that particular circuit?

Really appreciate you answers!

Answer 1

It's called "Ohm's Law."  Just "google" it.

Answer 2

take the wattage in watts or kW, or the VA  in VA or kVA, and divide it by the voltage (Australia is 230, I think) to get the current.

remember 1 kW = 1000 W
