Can work wire for 100 amps use for 60 amps circuit?
If you have 100 amp wire, you can use it for a 60 amp circuit, or for any circuit of 100 amps or less. But if you have a 60 amp circuit, 60 amp wire is thinner and cheaper than 100 amp wire.
Can I you use existing 8 3 wire hooked to a 30amp breaker was hooked to old electric heater to wire a heater that requires 10 2 wire its a 5000watt 240volt heater?
Yes the wire size is larger for that size breaker but will not effect the 30 amp breaker protection of that circuit.
What gauge wire for a 60 amp circuit?
AWG #6 wire.
Can you mix an 8-3 wire with a 30 amp double breaker?
You never, ever mix wire sizes within a circuit. However you can wire a 30 amp circuit using AWG # 8/3 wire, although that is overkill and AWG #10 wire is what you would normally use on a 30 amp circuit.
Will amp blow out if connecting the ground wire to the power wire while connected to amp?
Since the resulting short circuit would be outside the amp, it WOULD NOT blow the amp.
What size amp circuit breaker should be used for a home entertainment system?
You use the correct size breaker depending on the size wire in the circuit. If the circuit is wired with AWG #12 wire use a 20 amp breaker. If it is wired with AWG #14 wire then use a 15 amp breaker.
What is the smallest breaker for a 25 amp circuit?
30 amp wired with AWG # 10 wire.
Explain the rules for GFCIs in bathroom wire size wiring?
NEC states that all GFCI's require a 20 amp circuit, the wire size for a 20 amp circuit is 12 gauge.
What size wire in a 40 amp 12 volt circuit?
Use 8 gauge wire.
Can a circuit breaker be tripped by using 20 amp sockets instead of 15 amp sockets?
A circuit breaker protects the wires that the devices are connected to. If the devices that are connected to the circuit are 20 amps the wire size should be #12 wire fed from a 20 amp breaker. This breaker should not trip unless the circuit is overloaded or a fault occurs on the circuit. If the devices that are connected to the circuit are15 amps the wire size should be #14 wire fed from a15 amp breaker. This breaker should not trip unless the circuit is overloaded or a fault occurs on the circuit. Putting 20 amp sockets on this 15 amp circuit will work but the circuit is limited to the amount of load that can be plugged in. You will not get the full capacity of the 20 socket because the breaker will trip at 15 amps.
What size wire for 70 amp circuit?
AWG #4 copper.
What gauge for wire can you use with a 15 amp circuit?
14 AWG.
