What is the wire size required for 1800 watts for lamps?
14 gauge will handle it with a 15 amp breaker. If you use 12 gauge use a 20 amp breaker.
How many watts is a 240 volt 20 amp fuse rated for with 12 gauge wire?
4800
How many watts and romex gauge is safe for a 15amp breaker?
Assuming 120 VAC in a residence maximum watts = 15 x 120 = 1800 Watts. For a continuous load you can support 1440 watts which is 80& of maximum. You need 14 AWG gauge wire.
How many watts can run through 12-3 wire?
Wire is rated in ampacity, You can use only 80% of the rated ampacity. Voltage and amperage are inversely proportional. So at 120 volts alternating current you safely run 1800 watts ( I have added a small safety margin). At 240 volts you can run 3600 watts. I hope this has answered you question Ampsxvolts=watts watts/volts=amps
What size hot wire do you need for a 1900 watt amp?
A 12 gauge wire can support a load of approximately 2200 watts.
How many amps will 4 gauge wire handle?
The amps that a four gauge wire will handle will depend with the thickness of the wire. If the wire is thin, the four gauge will handle 95 amps.
How many volts will 4 gauge wire handle?
the gauge of the wire determines how much amperage a wire can carry the insulation determines how much voltage the wire can handle
What is the wire size required for 1800 watts for lamps?
14 gauge will handle it with a 15 amp breaker. If you use 12 gauge use a 20 amp breaker.
How many amps is 2 gauge wire 12 volts DC good for?
5000 watts
How many watts is a 240 volt 20 amp fuse rated for with 12 gauge wire?
4800
If I have 150ft of 10 gauge wire with 60 amp service how many amps and watts do I have available at the end of the line?
10 gauge wire will only run up to 30 amps
How many watts and romex gauge is safe for a 15amp breaker?
Assuming 120 VAC in a residence maximum watts = 15 x 120 = 1800 Watts. For a continuous load you can support 1440 watts which is 80& of maximum. You need 14 AWG gauge wire.
What gauge wire do you need for a 34.539 milliampere?
34.539 miliamps is only 0.034539 amps. A 16 gauge wire will handle that.
What is ampere rating of 16 gauge wire at 120 volts?
600 watts

What gauge wire can handle 28 amps?
10 guage
What gauge of wire must be used in homemade wind turbine?
You would need to know the maximum watts and voltage you could generate then go from there. In home use you use 12 gauge wire at 120 volts to handle up to 20 amps. 14 gauge for 15 amps. If you're operating in 12 volt it's a different ballgame.
