pleeeeease help. just a regular iron not some fancy thing
I checked my iron and it draws 10 amperes. I figured this out by looking at the power rating label which states that it draws 1200 watts of power at 120V. Since power current X voltage I can find current by using current power / voltage. Power is 1200 watts and the voltage is 120, so current 1200W/120V 10 amperes. Of course, I'm assuming you live in an area where the standard wall voltage is 120V. In Europe and other places that use 220-240V, an iron can draw the same amount of power but with only half of the current.
IT OPENS THE VALVES MORE QUICKER JUST CHECK COOLING SYSTEM IT MITE RUN A LITTLE HOTTER
The statement made saying 110 volts is an archaic value of voltage and you should use the normal voltage found ( in the USA ) of 120 volts. Also many outlets ( in the USA ) are on a 20 amp circuit. Not that many outlets anymore are on a 15 amp circuit.
I would guess most irons were 10-12 amps. The most you can get from a regular household socket is 15 amps. If you look at an iron it should say right on it. Either it will tell you the amps or watts, and you just divide the watts by 110 to get the amps.
