750 Watts to Amps — How Many Amps Is 750 Watts?
750 Watts equals 6.25 amps at 120V or 3.13 amps at 240V. Common 750W devices: Coffee maker, food processor.
750 Watts Amps at Every Voltage
| Voltage | Single Phase | Three Phase |
|---|---|---|
| 120V | 6.25A | 3.61A |
| 208V | 3.61A | 2.08A |
| 240V | 3.13A | 1.80A |
| 277V | 2.71A | 1.56A |
| 480V | 1.56A | 0.90A |
The Formula
Single Phase: Amps = Watts ÷ Volts. For 750 Watts at 120V: 750 ÷ 120 = 6.25A.
Three Phase: Amps = Watts ÷ (Volts × 1.732). For 750 Watts at 240V 3-phase: 750 ÷ (240 × 1.732) = 1.80A.
With power factor: Amps = Watts ÷ (Volts × PF). A PF of 0.8 increases the current draw by 25%.
Wire and Breaker for 750 Watts at 120V
At 120V, 750 Watts draws 6.3A. Recommended: 14 AWG copper wire with a 15A breaker per NEC 310.16. For continuous loads (3+ hours), apply 125% rule. Use our Wire Size Calculator for exact sizing.
