200 Watts to Amps
200 watts is 1.67 amps at 120 volts and 0.83 amps at 240 volts (amps = watts ÷ volts, at unity power factor). Every common voltage below.
200 Watts to Amps conversion table
| Voltage | Amps (PF 1.0) | Amps (PF 0.8) |
|---|---|---|
| 12 V DC | 16.7 A | — |
| 24 V DC | 8.33 A | — |
| 48 V DC | 4.17 A | — |
| 120 V AC | 1.67 A | 2.08 A |
| 208 V AC | 0.96 A | 1.2 A |
| 240 V AC | 0.83 A | 1.04 A |
| 277 V AC | 0.72 A | 0.9 A |
| 480 V AC | 0.42 A | 0.52 A |
PF = power factor. Resistive loads (heaters, incandescent lights) are PF 1.0; motors and compressors typically run PF 0.8-0.9. For a different value, use the interactive converter.

Frequently asked questions
1.67 amps (200 W ÷ 120 V). On a circuit, a 200 W resistive load needs at least a 15 A breaker — and 25% more if it runs 3+ hours continuously.
