What is making capacity of a circuit breaker?
Hard to define... A four year old child has the strength to physically "make" a typical household circuit breaker, while a teen would be able to "make" a typical industrial circuit breaker. (The latter breaker being physically much larger than the former.) Circuit breakers have their "breaking capacity" rated in AMPS. A typical household breaker is rated at 20, 30 or 50 Amps. Industrial breakers might be rated at 500 amps or a thousand or even more. Hope this helps but if it didn't answer your question, please rephrase it and ask again.
What size circut breaker for 10-2 wire?
A #10 wire has the capacity for 30 amps. No breaker larger than 30 amps should be used to protect the circuit.
What breaker for 17.3 amps?
I would suggest a 20 amp breaker. * Added - I would suggest a 25 amp breaker. A slight surge, depending upon what equipment is the source of the 17.3 amp load, should not result in circuit breaker opening. <<>> In North America, the electrical code only allows circuit loading up to 80% on a continuous load. A 20 amp breaker can be legally loaded to 16 amps. A 25 amp breaker can be legally loaded to 20 amps.
Should 25 amps breaker be replaced by 20 amps?
For typical residential house wiring 12 AWG wire is required for a 20 Amp breaker. If you change out the breaker for a 25 A breaker you would have to rewire the circuit with 10 AWG. In that case you could up the breaker to 30 Amps. All outlets and switches should be rated at the same voltage and current as the breaker.
Function of a breaker?
The purpose of a circuit breaker is to open the circuit in the event of an overload. Wires/conductors are only rated for a specific Amperage. If this amperage is exceeded the conductor/wire begins to heat up and given enough time it becomes a fire hazard. For instance a 15 amp breaker will trip once the Amps drawn through that circuit exceed 15 amps. The short answer is to keep you safe.
What is the maximum current rating for the circuit breaker, rated at 150 amps?
The maximum current rating for the circuit breaker is 150 amps.
What is the maximum current rating for the circuit breaker that can handle a load of 40 amps?
The maximum current rating for the circuit breaker that can handle a load of 40 amps is 40 amps.
What is the maximum current capacity of the circuit breaker rated at 150 amp?
The maximum current capacity of a circuit breaker rated at 150 amps is 150 amps.
How can a 30 Amps fuse for a shower of 9.5KW be replace with a 40 Amps fuse on RCD trip?
If the current safety requirement is 30 amps, you can;t run if off of a larger circuit breaker. It violates NEC and is very unsafe. If the current requirement is 40 amps , it will continuously trip a 30 amp breaker because it is too small of a breaker in electrical requirement.
What is the maximum current rating for the circuit breaker required for a device that operates at 20 amps?
The maximum current rating for the circuit breaker needed for a device that operates at 20 amps is 25 amps.
What is 6InA in circuit breaker?
61 nano-amps is 0.061 milliamps or 0.000061 amps
The Function Of A Twenty Amp Breaker?
It limits the current to the circuit at 20 Amps. If a load on the circuit draws more than 20 Amps the breaker will trip and interrupt the current to all devices on the circuit.
What is KA in Circuit Breaker?
KA stands for kilo-amps, or thousands of amps. Thus a 2KA breaker means it will trip when the load exceeds 2,000 amps.
What is the continuous current draw on a 20 amp circuit breaker?
Depends on what you have connected to the circuit. It is less than 10 amps or the breaker would trip. A rule of thumb is you design for about 80% load related to the breaker. For 20 amps that would equal 16 amps.
What is the maximum current rating for the circuit breaker in this electrical panel, specifically in relation to the keyword "60 amps"?
The maximum current rating for the circuit breaker in this electrical panel is 60 amps.
What is the recommended amperage for a circuit protected by a 50amp breaker?
The recommended amperage for a circuit protected by a 50-amp breaker is 80 of the breaker's rating, which is 40 amps.
What size fuse required to supply a continuous load of 32 amps?
80% of 40 = 32 amps Load the circuit breaker to 80% choose a conductor to suit the circuit Breaker min.
