What else can I help you with?
Is it safe to use 10 gauge wire on a 20 amp breaker for a microwave?
No, 10 gauge wire requires the use of a 30 amp breaker. A 20 amp breaker is only used on 12 gauge wire.
Can you use 10 gauge wire to connect a 2 15 amp outlets to a 30 amp breaker?
No, it is not safe to use 10 gauge wire with a 30 amp breaker as the wire is not rated for that high of a current. It is important to use the correct wire gauge that matches the breaker amperage to prevent overheating and potential fire hazards. For a 30 amp breaker, you should use at least 10 gauge wire.
Can you step up 12 volts AC TO 120 volts AC?
Yes this can be done with a step up transformer. Keep in mind that it is a 10 : 1 ratio. For every 1 amp that you want out of the 120 volt secondary there will have to be 10 amp input on the primary. This can lead to a very big wire size on the primary coil.
What type of wire should be used for a 15 amp circuit?
For a 15 amp circuit, it is recommended to use 14-gauge wire.
What wire should be used for outlets?
For outlets, it is recommended to use 12-gauge wire for 20-amp circuits and 14-gauge wire for 15-amp circuits.
What size wire would you pull 480v source 450' to 240v transformer for a 200 amp panel?
The wire size you are looking for is #1 copper with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C. This wire is rated at 140 amp but with a voltage drop correction it will give you 100 amps at the load. The wire for transformer feeders at 125% is included in the sizing.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energizedIF YOU ARE NOT REALLY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
How big of breaker do you use for 115 volt?
Depends on the wire size used in the circuit. If you use AWG # 14 wire you must use a 15 amp breaker. If it is wired with AWG # 12 wire then you use a 20 amp breaker. If a AWG # 10 wire is used then a 30 amp breaker is required. The breaker protects the wiring from overheating so you must use the proper size breaker for the wire used.
What gage wire is needed for a 35 amp ac?
Use 8 gauge wire.
What type of wire, specifically aluminum wire, is recommended for a 100 amp service?
For a 100 amp service, it is recommended to use aluminum wire that is at least 2 AWG in size.
Can you use 20 kva transformer in a home?
Yes you could use a 20 kva transformer in a home. Stymied as to why it would be done though. You would need at least a 100 amp service to the home to energize the transformer. Primary side of the transformer would draw 83 amps at 240 volts. If the question was to supply the home, again yes. It would be 100 amp service equipment that the transformer would feed into.
What type of 30 amp electrical wire should be used for this project?
For a 30 amp electrical project, it is recommended to use a 10-gauge wire.
What type of wire should be used for a 30 amp RV connection?
For a 30 amp RV connection, it is recommended to use a 10-gauge wire.
