All depends on how big your main breaker is and what size wire you are using,one 20 amp outlet needs #12 wire not more than 50feet away from main breaker

Can you feed a 208v 200amp panel from 480v 20amp circuit?
Not directly, you would need to transform 480v circuit to 120v with a transformer first.
Can you use 14-3 wire on a 20amp breaker?
No. A 20 amp breaker needs 12 gauge wire.
Can you use a 15amp outlet on a 20amp circuit?
No. You aren't allowed to install a device rated greater than the circuit is rated.The 20 amp receptacle would allow you to plug in 20 amp loads (which is why it is different than a 15 amp receptacle), and plugging a 20 amp load into a 15 amp circuit would cause an overload and the 15 amp circuit breaker would trip.ADDITIONThis may still be open for discussion. According an electrician from RKO Electric, you can in fact install a 20 Amp GFCI receptacle on a 15 Amp breaker. Apparently, the breaker will trip well before the receptacle is able to pull 20 Amps of current into the line. Please see the following link from another website: http://en.allexperts.com/q/Electrical-Wiring-Home-1734/20-amp-GFCI-outlets.htm2003 NEC Code Book says:210-21(b)(1), p.70-42: A single receptacle on an individual branch circuit shall have an ampere rating of not less than that of the branch circuit. To me this indicates that if there's only one receptacle on the circuit, you can't have an outlet rated for less than the circuit, but it neither mentions nor prohibits oversizing the receptacle.210-21(3), p.70-42: Where connected to a branch circuit supplying two or more receptacles or outlets, receptacle ratings shall conform to the values listed in table 210-21(b)(3)... which says: 15amp circuit, not over15amp receptacle (
Can 3.55 watt oven run on 20amp hard wire?
To answer this question the voltage of the oven must be stated. Also double check on the wattage of the oven 3.55 watts seems low. Maybe it should be 3.55 kWs. Amps = Watts/Volts.
What size wire to use for a 800 ft run on 20amp circuit?
To answer this question you have to know the voltage and load type. If this was a 110 Volt lighting application 12-2 should work. If this was a 220 Volt motor load 10-2 might be a better choice. Copper wire 120 volts #6, at 240 volts #8. Aluminium wire 120 volts #4, at 240 volts #6. As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed. 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-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
Where is the fuse or relay for the auxiliary power outlets in a 2000 Dodge Durango?
The main fuse panel is at the left end of the dash and there's a fuse/relay box under the hood above the left front wheel well. Check both panel covers. The outlets are on a 20amp circuit, so if you don't find any labels, check all the 20amp fuses for a blown one.
Can wall outlets be on a 15amp breaker in the bedroom or do they have to be 20amp?
Technically, they can be on a 15 amp breaker when you use 15 amp outlets. There is a difference. Be sure to check your local code (just call the city building department and tell them you have a code question). some cities require the bedroom outlets to be on an arc-fault breaker.
Can you feed a 208v 200amp panel from 480v 20amp circuit?
Not directly, you would need to transform 480v circuit to 120v with a transformer first.
Can you use 2 20amp circuit breakers to protect to 40amp?
yes, you can use but connect in parallel mode.
How many 64watt fixtures can a 20amp 240v circuit support?
At 80% load factor you can support 60 fixtures.
What type of circuit has double 20amp breaker going to a separate box at that separate box there is a well pump with another 20amp breaker to that?
Sounds like a 240 volt sub panel feeding a well pump.
Should you Run a 20amp circuit 150 feet with?
If this question is asking about voltage drop, to size a wire, a voltage is needed.
How many Amperage for a gas stove?
A gas stove needs no high current. A basic 15amp circuit will suffice. Code will probably require a 20amp circuit since its in the kitchen.
What is the difference between 15 amp and 20 amp service?
It is the rating of how much current you can deliver to loads on a circuit. For example, if you had 10 outlets on 20 A service that is what you could run from the outlets on a circuit. This is a total capacity and not the capacity of each outlet on the circuit. If you plugged something into an outlet that drew 20 A you wouldn't be able to run anything on other outlets. In a lighting circuit two 60 W incandescent bulbs draw one amp. Therefore, on a 15 A lighting circuit you could have a maximum of thirty 60 Watt bulbs. Usually you try and stay at about 80% of rating so practically you could have 24 bulbs. ponypomp; 5 amps. A 15amp breaker is used with 14ga romex wire, designated in homes for lighting. Common practice. A 20amp breaker is used with 12ga romex wire ,designed for the outlets in a home. Common practice. Just wanted to add this to the great post above.
How much outlet to 20 amp breaker?
No. Receptacle is rated at 15 amps and the wire that feeds it will also rated at 15 amps. Since it will take 20 amps to trip the breaker the wire will be become overloaded. The above is true only if it is a single dedicated outlet. You can use 15A duplex outlets on a 20A circuit, ie: kitchen and dining room outlets per the National Electrical Code.
Where is the fuse for the power windows located in a 1989 firebird?
ITS SHOULN'T BE JUST A FUSE IT SHOULD HAVE A CIRCUIT BREAKER TOO. THE CIRCUIT BREAKER OPENS IF YOU HOLD THE SWITCH TOO LONG. ITS 20AMP ON MOST CARS THAT I WORKED ON. ITS IN THE FUSEPANEL ON MUSTANGS. GOOD LUCK PAUL G
Where is the fuse for the power outlets on a 2000 Dodge Durango?
: The fuse in the same housing of the main fuse box, just on the back side (the housing should be off white). You will need a flash light to see the four fuses on the other side, it is the 20amp.
