How many electrical receptacles on 15 A breaker with 12 gauge wire?

In the United States and according to the NEC, in commercial and industrial installations, you are limited to 10 receptacles on a 15 amp circuit. The size of the wire is not a determining factor. There is no limit to the number of receptacles on a circuit in a home and there may be local codes where you live that have stricter requirements.


What causes all wall receptacles in one room to stop working?

The circuit probably tripped because too many things were plugged into the receptacles or there is a short in the wiring that leads to that area. If you can find your circuit box, look to see if any of the little switches appear to be in the off position. Unplug everything from those receptacles. Flip the switch to the on position. If it stays in that position, plug everything back in one thing at a time until something trips the circuit again. (If you are able to plug everything back in, it may have been a power surge that tripped the circuit. )If the switch will not stay in the on position even if nothing is plugged in, call an electrician. Those circuit breakers are there for safety.


How many outlets are there?

Up to 12 on a 20 amp circuit. Up to 9 on a 15 amp circuit. But use common sense. If the circuit will be heavily loaded, as in a home office, then do not install that many.


how many rooms are allowed on one lighting circuit?

Unless you do not have enough space in the service panel it is always a good idea to have each room on it's own circuit. If you want to put 2 rooms on a circuit just make sure those 2 rooms do not overload the circuit and wire it for a 20 amp circuit. Two bedrooms with 8 outlets each and 1 light each is about all you would want on the circuit. I would never put 3 rooms on the same circuit.

Can you control 10 outlets with one 20 amp GFCI outlet on one 20 amp circuit?

Yes. I know of no limits to how many regular receptacles (outlets) you can "piggy back" onto one GFCI receptacle. However, in commercial and industrial construction there are limits to how many receptacles can be placed on any one circuit. These limits in the United States and according to the NEC are: 10 receptacles on a 15 amp circuit and 13 receptacles on a 20 amp circuit.

In The USA How many outlets can be hooked up on a 20 amp circuit?

Rule of thumb is about 8 unless it is a dedicated circuit. The NEC has no requirements on the number of receptacles that can be on a circuit in a residential setting. The circuit should be layed out to only cover 500 sq. feet. A single room of 500 sq. feet, you could put as many receptacle as you want on one circuit.

How many 120VAC single-phase output receptacles does a 25kW Power Distribution panel have?

If you are referring to the 25KW Power Distribution Panel used by the military, NSN: 6110-01-244-3209, there are four 120VAC, 20A circuit breakers and four corresponding twist lock receptacles.


What is the formula to figure out how many plugs and lights you can put on a circuit?

This depends upon the circuit breaker capacity. You may never load a circuit to greater than 80% of it's capacity. So you may load up to 12 Amps on a 15 Amp circuit, and, 16 Amps on a 20 Amp circuit. The National Electrical Code requires you to calculate each receptacle at 180 VA. If the circuit is 120 volts and 15 amps, you would have 1800 VA, divide by 180 VA per receptacle, equals 10 receptacles per circuit (minus the wattage of each luminaire or light fixture added to the circuit, before dividing by the 180 VA). If the circuit is 120 volts and 20 amps, you would have 2400 VA, divide by 180 VA per receptacle, equals 13.333 receptacles per circuit (round down to 13 receptacles),(minus the wattage of each luminaire or light fixture added to the circuit, before dividing by the 180 VA).
