Question

a electric kttle consumes 1 kW of electric power when operated
at 220 V. A fuse wire of what rating must be used for it?

Open in App

Solution

Fuse Wire Rating is calculated by knowing the current and the voltage.
So, 1KW at 220V is
V²/R = 1000
220²/1000=R
48.4 ohm = R
I²R = 1000
I²=1000/48.4
I = 20.66A
So, by standard conventions, a 12 gauge wire needs to be used.
