Watts to amps
Type a value in W to get it in A instantly.
0.8333A
That's 1.54× as powerful as a laptop, while a microwave is 10× more powerful. At 120 V it draws 0.8333 A.
What it means
How much power is that?
For DC and for resistive AC loads (heaters, kettles, lamps). Motors and power supplies have a power factor below 1 and draw more amps for the same watts.
The math
How to convert W to A
amps = watts ÷ volts; watts = amps × volts (DC, or AC with a power factor of 1).
Example: 100 W = 0.833333 A.
Amps on this page are at 120 V (US, Canada). Pick another voltage above.
