I'm assuming the electrical system is single phase, such as a home. If not, you need to hire someone to do the work for you.
First, 6000 watts at 120v is 50 amps, so if your load is truly 6000 watts, 30 amps isn't enough.
If your 6000 watts is 240v, which would draw 25 amps, then 30 amps is plenty.
Ten gauge wire may not be placed an a breaker or fuse larger than 30 amps.

How many amps does 6000 watts pull?
There are zero amps in 6600 watts. Watts are the product of amps times volts. W = A x V. To find amperage use the following equation, A = W/V, so as you can see a voltage value is needed in the equation to result in an amperage.
What is the power developed in a purely resistive circuit with 15volts rms applied and drawing 10 amps?
(15 volts) x (10 Amps) = 150 watts
What is the amps for 6000 watts 415 volts 3 phase heater?
There are zero amps in a 6kW 3 phase heater. Amperage is the result of dividing the Watts by the Voltage. A = W/E. Without stating the voltage the heater operates on the amperage can not be calculated.
How many amps does 50.000 watts equal?
There are zero amps in 50 watts. The equation for amperage is, I W/E. Amps = Watts / Volts. As you can see if there is no voltage stated the amperage can not be calculated.
How many amps in 1715 watts and 120v?
The formula you are looking for is I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts.
How many amps is in 6000 watts at 240 volts?
Watts divided by volts equals amps so 6000 divided by 120 = 50
How many amps is 6000 watts at 240 volts?
The equation that you are looking for is I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts.
How many amps is 6kW 240 volt single phase?
The equation that you are looking for is Amps = Watts/Volts. There are 6000 watts in 6kW.
Will a 6000 watt generator power a machine that draws 14 amps?
Yes, Power (in watts) equals voltage times current (Amps). Amps = Watts/Volts If your generator is 6000 watts that would operate a 120 volt load up to 50 amps (6000/120=50). If you are running a motor or compressor, the initial inrush of current is about 3 times higher so 14 X 3 = 42amps. Should do fine...

How many watts of power are used by a heater operating at 460 volts and drawing 5 amps?
The answer in watts is 460 times 5.
How many amps are in 6000 watts?
The units are not freely convertible. You would need to specify a voltage.
4 sq mm copper cable current carrying capacity?
25 amps, 6000 watts
A circuit with 20 ohms of resistance and a current flow of 20 amps will use 6000 watts of power is this true?
P=I^2*R. No. 8,000 watts.
What kind of amps does a 65 watt light take?
amps equals watts divided by volts.
A 60 Watt appliance is plugged into a 120 Volt AC outlet How much current is the appliance drawing when it is turned on?
Amps (current) times volts = watts. so watts divided by volts = current (Amps). i.e.- 0.5 Amps.
How many amps in a 50 watt 12v light?
Amps = Watts/Volts55/12= 4.583333
