How many 5 amp TVs can be plugged into a open circuit?
You can plug in as many as you want but none of them will work. An "open" circuit is an electrical circuit which is not a complete circuit and therefore electricity will not flow through it. If you mean an unused circuit,which has no load on it, then the answer is 2 ea. 5 amp devices on a 15 amp circuit and 3 ea. 5 amp devices on a 20 amp circuit. The reason for this is that any circuit is not to be "loaded" more than 80% of the OCPD (circuit breaker amperage rating.
Can you use 15 amp appliance on 20 amp socket?
Yes, you can use a 15 amp appliance on a 20 amp socket. The appliance will only draw the amount of current it needs, so there should be no issue with using it on a higher amp socket. Just make sure the voltage matches.
What size circuit breaker is needed for a 300 watt bulb?
A 300 watt bulb requires a circuit breaker of at least 2.5 amps. This can be determined by dividing the power (300 watts) by the voltage (120 volts). However, considering normal breaker sizes, a 5 amp breaker would be sufficient for a 300 watt bulb.
What size of wire do you need for 5 kw heat strip?
120 15 amp service ? 210 7 amp service ?
Can you replace 1 amp fuse with a 5 amp fuse?
No, the one amp fuse is the recommendation of the manufacturer of the circuit. By replacing it with a fuse five times larger will default the warranty placed on the equipment by the manufacturer. Where one amp will do no damage to the circuit, five amps could destroy the components that are connected in the circuit.
What size fuses are used in a 1970 Camaro?
5 amp,10 amp, 15 amp, 20 amp, 25 amp, and 30 amp.
If you have a machine that draws 5 amps can it be used on a 30 amp circuit?
Yes
What is the difference in a 5 amp fuse and 6 amp fuse?
The main difference between a 5 amp fuse and a 6 amp fuse lies in their respective current-carrying capacities. A 5 amp fuse is designed to safely carry up to 5 amperes of current before breaking the circuit to protect the electrical components from damage due to overload. On the other hand, a 6 amp fuse can handle up to 6 amperes of current before breaking the circuit. Therefore, the 6 amp fuse has a slightly higher current rating and can tolerate a slightly higher load compared to the 5 amp fuse.
How does the electric distribution panel work?
It's basically a system of circuits. The power from the mains enters through the input terminals. It's then split into various load circuits (5 amp for lighting, 13 amp for sockets , 15 amp for the immersion heater & 30 amp for cookers). Each of these circuits has it's own circuit breaker, which cuts the power to that particular circuit if the current draw exceeds the rating of the breaker.
How are fuses measured?
In how many amps of current before blowing out. 2 amp 5 amp 10 amp 15 amp etc.
How is low voltage circuit normally protected?
If it is then it has a 3 or 5 amp fuse. Some are not.
What is the difference between 15 amp and 20 amp service?
It is the rating of how much current you can deliver to loads on a circuit. For example, if you had 10 outlets on 20 A service that is what you could run from the outlets on a circuit. This is a total capacity and not the capacity of each outlet on the circuit. If you plugged something into an outlet that drew 20 A you wouldn't be able to run anything on other outlets. In a lighting circuit two 60 W incandescent bulbs draw one amp. Therefore, on a 15 A lighting circuit you could have a maximum of thirty 60 Watt bulbs. Usually you try and stay at about 80% of rating so practically you could have 24 bulbs. ponypomp; 5 amps. A 15amp breaker is used with 14ga romex wire, designated in homes for lighting. Common practice. A 20amp breaker is used with 12ga romex wire ,designed for the outlets in a home. Common practice. Just wanted to add this to the great post above.
