To calculate how many amps are used by a 240-volt circuit, you need to know the power being used (in watts). The relationship between volts, amps, and watts is given by the formula:
\[
\text{Amps} = \frac{\text{Watts}}{\text{Volts}}
\]
So if you have the power in watts, you can divide it by 240 volts to find the current in amps.
For example:
- If the power is 1200 watts, the current would be:
\[
\text{Amps} = \frac{1200}{240} = 5 \text{ amps}
\]
If you don't know the power, you can't calculate the amps just from the voltage. Let me know if you'd like to go over more details!
