There is a chart onhere somewhere that give the conversions of watts to amps!
you can also get an app for your phone converting the watts to amps.
Hope this helps!

A quick rule of thumb is 4 amps = 1000 watts(1 kw) roughly so a 2kw kettle say will need 8 amps most appliance's have the watts needed on a label somewhere..

If the MCB on the electric tower is rated at 16 amps it will trip around about that
