Single-phase: W = A × V (power factor 1). Three-phase: W = √3 × A × V × PF; motors and electronics have PF below 1.

FAQ

How many watts is 1 amps?

1 A × 120 V = 120 W; at 240 V it is 240 W. Watts = amps × volts for resistive single-phase loads.

What breaker do I need for a 1 amp load?

For a continuous load (3+ hours) the NEC sizes the breaker at 125%: 1.25 A → next standard size 15 A. Check local code.
