What else can I help you with?
Can 20 amp breaker with 12 gauge wire handle 8 recessed lights?
Yes. I am assuming this is a residential question. A better answer is...if the 8 recessed lights draw fewer than 16 amps together, it is good.
Can you power 7 recessed lights on one 15 amp breaker?
count your total amount of watts you are going to use (ie 7 bulbs 75 watts =525watt) watts divided by voltage 525 divided by 120vac = 4.375 amps, you can only load a circuit to 80% 15 amp breaker @ 80%=12 amps, you cannot exceed this by the electrical code.make sure you know what other loads are on the circuit unless this is a separate circuit. hope this helps..
How many lights can run off a 15 amp breaker?
Generally, a 15 amp breaker can safely handle around 1440 watts of power. The number of lights that can run off this breaker depends on the wattage of each light. As a guideline, if each light consumes around 60-75 watts, you can safely run about 16-24 lights on a 15 amp breaker.
Can a 20 amp breaker with 12 gauge wire be used for recessed lighting?
Yes. In the US at least.
How many recessed lights can you put on a 20 Amp circuit breaker?
If there is nothing else on the circuit then you could easily install 15. If there are outlets on the same circuit then try and keep the total of outlets and lights to a maximum of 15. But in reality the number of devices depends on how many amps each device pulls. Add up the amperage of the recessed lights you are going to install and then add any outlets and what may be plugged into them to get the number you can install. A 100 watt light bulb will draw about 1 amp. So you can easily have 15 on a 20 amp circuit.
What size amp circuit breaker do you use on a 55 watt fluorescent light?
A 55 watt fluorescent light only pulls 0.4 amps. Lights can be installed on a 15 amp breaker using 14/2 wire. A maximum of 1440 watts is all that is allowed on a 15 amp circuit.
Can a 15 amp breaker hold 300 watts at 120 volts?
Yes, it can.
What is the wire size required for 1800 watts for lamps?
14 gauge will handle it with a 15 amp breaker. If you use 12 gauge use a 20 amp breaker.
How many watts can a 20 amp breaker handle per hour?
2.3 kw per hour on a 110-120 volt circuit.
How any pot light you can't install on one breaker of 15 amp?
Question makes no sense, but anyone would probably need to know the rating (watts) of the lights to give an answer.
What kind of wire do you use for 120 volts and what amp breaker do you use?
#12/2wground & a 20 amp breaker should be enough for lights,receptales.
How many amp breaker is needed for 4000 watts at 220 volts?
The equation that you are looking for is I = W/E. Amps = Watts / Volts.
