What else can I help you with?
When is wire size and electrical hazard?
Wire size is the gauge (thickness of wire) hazard is almost anything not wired correctly.
What is the recommended gauge of wire to use for a 12 or 14 gauge wire?
The recommended gauge of wire to use for a 12 or 14 gauge wire is typically 10 gauge wire.
What is thicker 10 gauge or 12 gauge?
You could be referring to anything from shotguns to steel plate, but I'll take a wild guess you are referring to wire gauge. 10 gauge wire is thicker than 12 gauge. If you were referring to something other than wire, write again and tell us what you are referring to.
You bought a rheem heat pump what gauge wire should you use for a 80amp breaker?
My heat pump was professionally wired when built in 2004. Wire is No. 4 AWG with 80 amp breaker
What gauge wire is required to hook up an electric kitchen stove?
Normally a new kitchen stove will require a 50 amp breaker wired with AWG # 6/3 with ground wire.
Is 8 gauge weld wire fencing stronger than 10 gauge wire?
Yes, 8 gauge wire is thicker and stronger than 10 gauge wire. The lower the gauge number, the thicker the wire is. Therefore, 8 gauge weld wire fencing would be stronger and more durable than 10 gauge wire fencing.
How big is 6 gauge wire?
The size of the wire is stated by its gauge under American Wire Gauge. Six gauge wire is size 6 AWG.
What is thicker 8 gauge or 10 gauge?
8 gauge wire is thicker than 10 gauge wire. In the American wire gauge (AWG) system, lower gauge numbers indicate thicker wire. Therefore, 8 gauge wire has a larger diameter and can carry more current than 10 gauge wire.
Is 20 gauge iron wire thicker than 21 gauge?
No, the higher gauge means a thinner wire.
What size wire do you use on a fridge freezer?
12 gauge wire is used for household plugins, and 14 gauge wire is used for lights. So, 12 gauge is the size to use. But since a freezer has an electric motor, it is best to not plug anything else with a motor into the same circuit.
Why are motors wired with solid wire?
Most motors aren't wired with solid wire. Typically only alternators or electric motors have solid wire.
Is a 6 gauge wire larger than a 12 gauge wire?
Yes, the smaller gauge number, the larger the wire is.
