Default Cant find it!!!!! ARGH!!!!

Many moons ago someone posted a formula to figure out how many amps would be needed for the amount of watts your elements are. I cant seem to find it, does anyone have it book marked? Plan on using 3 or 4 elements in my over, just dont know what size to use

watts divided by volts = amps

examples:

3000 watts = 12.5 amps (3000/240)

10000 watts = 41.66 (10000/240)

or reverse the formula if you want to find watts. So a 50 amp circuit could support 12000 watts. (50 amps times 240 volts equals 12,000 watts)

Generally it's best not to exceed 80% of the rated value of the circuit.
