Electrical Appliances, Amperes, Volts and Watts

There are three things which are most common in electrical appliances that we can see in our routine life. One is volts, second is Amperes and third is Watts. What are this stuff and why we use these words? it is because they are measuring items of current, electricity and use of electricity per hour foundation. The flow of current and amount of present is called Amperes, Volts are different, They are often regular. Watts are the usage of electricity on hour basis. We can measure this thing by simple equation.

If we want to know the value of watts then we will multiply the volts from amperes. Let’s suppose, if we have 12 volts and 10 amps (amperes) then the watts will be 12×10 = 120 watts. If we want to know about the about the amps in this equation, then we will divide 12/120 = 10 Amps. If we want to know the value of volts then we will 120/10 = 12 volts.

These are the things that we need to perceive, if we wish to understand the appliances and their utilization. Every appliance has its personal properties, some has volts limits, some has amp limits. But if we see roughly then we are going to see that the appliance has greater than normal capability. Just like if we have 220 volts in our socket then we can see that 220 – 240 volts on the appliance. This is because they know the fluctuation of volts. So, if electricity will get more volts then it will suffer if it reaches the limit, if it cross the limit then the equipment will burn.

In our normal home electrical wiring, we have to make sure that the gauge of the wire have to be robust, we will see what amount of load {of electrical} appliance will be on that wire. What’s its capacity, because if we put excess load on wires then it can start heating and it may burn the insulation of wire that may trigger fire in home.

Normally we use 3 wires or 3 mm wires for single connection. A single connection can be a bulb, a ceiling fan, a simple socket the place we can cost mobile phones, juicer, blenders and many others. But when we are going to use power plug, that can need heavy wires. Heavy wires means 7 copper wires in a single wire or 4 mm wire. That will bear the load of heater, microwave oven, refrigerator, electrical iron, computer and LED etc. If we’re utilizing greater appliances, just like room chiller, split chiller unit, water heater then we will use heavy wire and that will be directly from the main change panel.

These are some knowledge that I share here with you. I’ll try my best to offer you extra information regarding electricity and its work. That is actually to make your mind clear that how electricity works and what are its units.
