If i wire three 10 awg wires together can they handle 90 amps?

This would be a bad idea. If, for example, one of the wires became disconnected or cut by accident then the remaining wires would have to carry the current which could result in a fire.

How Many Amps Can a 30 Amp Circuit Handle?
30 amps
How do you determine how many amps a battery can handle under continuous conditions?
To determine how many amps a battery can handle, this information should be on the battery itself. You can also get a battery tester to determine amperage.
How many amps can a zero gauge wire handle?
You are probably thinking about 1/0 wire (1 ought wire). In copper it is rated at 175 amps and in aluminum 125 amps.
Can you run two 14 gauge wires tied together side by side to make it 10 gauge?
In the United States this is a violation of code. Of course you can physically do it. But the code does not allow parallel conductors any smaller than 1/0 unless each individual conductor is large enough to handle the entire circuit. Using 14 gauge wire you would have to have a circuit no larger than 15 amps, regardless of how many wires you parallel.
How many amps will 16 gauge stranded auto wire handle?
According to NEC, it's max rating in free air is 18 amps.
You have two 10 gauge wires joined together on a 120 v how much amps can you draw?
30 amps
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 Amps Can a 30 Amp Circuit Handle?
30 amps
Can i wire two different size wires together?
To do so LEGALLY, the circuit breaker must not be rated at a capacity (in AMPS) greater than the SMALLEST wire.
What gauge wire can handle 28 amps?
10 guage
How much amperage can a typical thermostat handle?
2 amps
How do you determine how many amps a battery can handle under continuous conditions?
To determine how many amps a battery can handle, this information should be on the battery itself. You can also get a battery tester to determine amperage.
How do you install 2 amps in a car?
You can bridge the wires from one amp to the other.
How do you confirm that you are not overloading an outlet?
Check the number of amps that your circuit can handle. You should not put devices with more than that many amps (total) on that circuit. Most houses are 15 amps and bathrooms 20 amps.
How many amps can a zero gauge wire handle?
You are probably thinking about 1/0 wire (1 ought wire). In copper it is rated at 175 amps and in aluminum 125 amps.
How many amps will a 10 kva transformer handle?
It depends on how many amps it was designed for. A 12.5kV/600v 10kVA 3 phase transformer can handle ~.5 amps on the primary and ~10A on the secondary. A 600/120V 10kVA 3 phase transformer can handle ~10A on the primary and ~50 on the secondary.
