How many amps should a car battery be at?
Q. I have a 2001 VW Passat and the battery suddenly died. I have had a charger running on the battery for the last 4 hours. The charger is showing that the battery is only at 1.5 amps. Is that normal? How many amps do I have to let the charger get up to until the car will have enough juice to turn over? It is a 6 amp charger and the battery is about 4 years old.

A. Battery technology gets complicated, so, here goes! A new, fully charged battery produces 2.1 volts per cell or 12.6 volts for a 12 volt battery. You must understand what voltage and amperage mean. Voltage is a measure of electrical pressure. Amperage is the amount of current passing through a conductor. As a battery discharges - goes dead - the electrical resistance increases especially with todays maintenance-free batteries. A 6 amp charger probably will not fully charge your battery since the internal resistance of the dead battery is so high. You should slow charge the battery but I recommend a charger with an output of 10-12 amps, see if you can borrow one. With all that being said, replacing your battery is probably the best… [cont.]

How do i go about hooking 2 amps up to one sub?
Q. If i were to get a 2000 watt Audiobahn subwoofer (1000 watt RMS) would it be possible to hook 2 900watt Kenwood amps up to it to total 1800 watts? Because even a 1500watt amp(running 2 ohms to match sub) will run me well over $500, where as 2 of these amps would cost around $370. SO back to the question, how do i hook up/is it possible to hook up 2 amps to one sub?
Asked by that_one_guy - Fri Jan 5 17:37:27 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Don't do it. Spend the extra money and get another sub and a smaller amp. You don't need to match the wattage rating of the sub to the amp, that rating on the sub is just the wattage the coil can take for 8 hours continious with a non-stop tone. It will be louder with 2 subs and say one 1000watt amp. Here is the reasoning; In order to connect two amps to one sub, you have to at least have a dual voice coil sub. In addition, you have to match the input level exactly,.. to the 10th millivolt in order to not blow the coils. That is pretty hard to do and not worth the effort.

How do you calculate the amps in a capacitor if you know the voltage and number of farads?
Q. A capacitor with 25 volts and 4,700 uf has how many amps, and how many amps would that be if I had four in parallel?
Asked by big al - Sat Feb 20 19:38:24 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Capacitors don't "have amps". You need to explain this better. If you mean how much current you can draw from a charged capacitor, it depends on the load. Yes, if you had 4 in parallel, you would be able to draw more current, if the load were adjusted to call for that much current. If the load stays the same, then 4 caps would supply the same current as 1 cap, it would just last four times as long. But the important part is that the current is NOT determined by the cap, it is determined by the load you put on it. .

How many amps can one electrical socket handle?
Q. I have a lot of electronics in my bedroom. They are all in different outlets, all on a 15amp breaker. Granted I'm not going to plug everything into one outlet, I was just curious how many amps one socket can handle before the breaker would trip. My father in law was yelling at me about plugging something into an outlet, that already has a window AC plugged into it. I really don't think it matters considering the AC pulls 5.6 amps and the heating pad i was going to plug in pulls only 0.45 amps
Asked by Alex M - Thu Jun 5 23:50:32 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Your outlet should have a 15 or 20 amp breaker on it. Breakers are normally built to run at 80 of rated load without tripping. This means you can have a total load of 1320 watts or 1760 watts on the breaker. There are usually more than one outlet on a circuit breaker. Usually, one side of a room has all the outlets on one breaker, plus some outlets in other rooms. You need to count whatever is plugged into those outlets on your total load. An outlet itself is designed for a 15 amp load. This limits you to the 1320 watt total load on one outlet.

How much amps does it take to start a F-250 Diesel engine with a battery charger?

A. You will need a lot more amps than 1 battery charger on start will provide. Usually it takes about 400 amps to get them puppies to think about starting.. depending upon the 7.3 (If it's a powerstroke it needs a lot more power to boost up the oil pressure to fire it off) Usually it takes 2 battery chargers, but usually a stone dead Ford diesel takes 2 professional jump start batteries to kick them over good. If you are willing to wait to charge the batteries first, any battery charger will work (preferably one that can charge at 40 amps or so continous , but be prepared to wait half a day to start it if the batteries are still good)

How can I find out the amps when I only know volts and hertz?
Q. I want to send my daughter to college with a little fridge. The school requires the fridge to be 1.5 amps or less. The problem is that amps are not given for fridges. Our fridge manual indicates 115V/60hz. How can I find out if we meet the 1.5 or less requirement?

A. The 60 Hertz doesn't matter; it's irrelevant. (Unless she's going to a different country). The 115 V is fine if you're in the USA. But the 1.5 amps denotes how much power it uses, and somewhere on the fridge or in the manual it should say how much power it uses, either in the form of 'watts' or V/A (volt/amps.). A little fridge should be well inside the limit. If she can run a 1 kilowatt heater then the fridge should be well within the limits.

What is important for making an electromagnet strong: volts or amps?
Q. I am planning to try an connect a homemade electromagnet to an AC adaptor. I have 1 that delivers 9-volts and 300milli-amps and 1 that delivers 6-volts and 2.2 amps. Which one should I use to make the magnet as powerful as possible?

A. A magnetic field is proportional to the Amp-Turns. So if you use 100 turns of wire and 1 amp that give 100 Amp-Turns and should give about the same field as 1000 Turns of wire and 0.1 Amp However for best results you need to use magnet wire for tighter packing and the thinest wire possible for your maximum current so that you can get the most turns.

Of course, 24 V at 30 A would be better and run cooler, but it'll cost more. Did i understand your question correctly? If you want to operate a 120 volt bulb, at one fifth its nominal voltage (24 V), then at that voltage it'll not consume 500 watts. You would have to measure how many amps it will take. These devices are not linear, since their resistance depends on temperature.

suppose 2 30 amp fuses were in parallel and a system had a total current of 42 amps. What would happen?
Q. Would the 42 amps surge through only one fuse, blowing that fuse but leaving the other fuse; thus still having a complete circuit? Would the 42 amps split into 21 amps across each fuse, keeping the circuit in tact? Would 42 amps surge through each fuse closing the circuit? Or would an unequal proportion of current move through each fuse (i.e. 32 in one and 10 in the other)? Or would something entirely different happen? This question has nothing to do with any practical applications for me. So please don't ask me what i am planning on doing and that it isn't a good idea to put 2 fuses in parallel or anything like that . It is just a hypothetical question.

A. If the fuses are exactly equal in resistance, you will have half the load through each, and you'll be okay. If they are not, one fuse will take more of the load, and could blow. At that point, the other fuse will suddenly be handling the whole load and will also blow.

A. You won't have any amps "coming" from an outlet. An appliance (your treadmill) USES amps. So, you have to find out from the manufacturer how many amps the treadmill uses. Then, you have to go to the breaker panel to find out which outlets go to which breaker. A typical breaker is 20 amps. That means you can use up to 20 amps before the breaker trips and there are usually eight receptacles to each breaker. If your treadmill uses ten amps and the lamp on another outlet uses 5 amps and so on and son, then you may have too many things running on that breaker. Once you find out which outlets are on the same breaker as the treadmill, unplug everything except the treadmill. If it still makes strange popping noises then there's something wrong… [cont.]

what guage wire do i use between an electrical box of 200 amps and 120 amps?
Q. putting in a "on demand hot water heater" it takes a separate box of 3- 40 amps breakers. I need to go to the main box with "what gauge wire"? Do I need to install a breaker in the main box as well? If so what amp breaker should it be? The boxes are approximately 15' apart.

A. From the way you ask this question, I would most strongly advise you not to attempt to do this on your own. You need to learn far too much to safely instruct you here. A 40A. load needs # 8 Awg. copper wire. Each 'hot` wire is protected by a breaker, a neutral, (white), wire goes to the Neutral bar in the panel. a bare, (Ground), wire goes to a different bar. The two are NOT interchangable. If I read you right, you need 3 wires for the heater. Read the documentation that comes with the unit and the UL nameplate on the unit itself. Most residential heaters are single phase 240V. and would require two hots and a ground and will be marked "240V. or 120/240V. 1 Phase" - and will need two Breakers If you do have a three phase… [cont.]

A. You can use y connectors and split the signal from the rca output on the line out converter to 3 sets of rcas but you would only be running off of 1 input, you wouldn't be able to fade your stereo. At the minimun I would recommend getting 2 line out converters, 1 for the front speakers, 1 for the rears and subs.
