Microwave surge protector manufacturer tells you that 12A (ampere) appliances usually refer to their working current of 12 amperes at rated voltage. To determine the power (wattage) of these appliances, you can use the formula: Power (W) = Voltage (V) × Current (A). In China and most places, the standard voltage for household electricity is 220V, so:
Power = 220V × 12A = 2640W
Microwave surge protector manufacturers base their designs on this power range. Here are some appliances that may require 12A:
★ Household appliances
→ Electric kettle:
Many models of electric kettles have a power between 1000W and 2000W, and some high-power models may be close to 2640W, especially large-capacity electric kettles.
→ Rice cooker:
Some high-power rice cookers may need to be close to 2640W when working in heating mode.
→ Microwave oven:
Some mid-to-high-end microwave ovens may also have a power close to this range when working.
★ Kitchen Appliances
→ Juicers:
Some high-powered juicers or food processors may reach or exceed 12A when operating.
→ Electric ovens:
Household electric ovens also usually require higher currents when set at high power.
★ Air conditioners and heaters
→ Portable air conditioners:
Some portable air conditioners may reach 2640W when started.
→ Electric heaters or space heaters:
Some electric heaters use a current close to 12A at full power.
Precautions for using 12A surge protector
◆ Rated power:
Microwave surge protector manufacturer recommends that when selecting and using electrical appliances, make sure to check their rated power and current to avoid overloading.
◆ Sockets and lines:
Make sure the sockets and wires used can withstand 12A current to avoid safety hazards caused by overload.
◆ Current startup:
Some electrical appliances may require a higher current when starting and a lower current when running normally, so this also needs to be considered when selecting sockets and protective devices.
Microwave surge protector manufacturer tells you that if you have a specific brand or model of appliance, you can usually find the exact current or power information by checking its manual or label.
The microwave surge protector manufacturer summarizes for you that 12-ampere appliances include electric kettles, rice cookers, microwave ovens, juicers, electric ovens, and heaters, but it is recommended to read the instructions before deciding whether to buy the appliances.
