How can a neutral wire have 81 amp load?
If that's the case, there must be a "Hot" leg that's carrying 81 amps. The neutral is just the return for a circuit, it's the center tap of the transformer, and for there to be 81 amps on the neutral, there must be a load SOMEWHERE ELSE. It could be that the wire is acting as a neutral for multiple circuits, you'd have to figure out what's going on.
If you have an electrical circuit of 15 amps how many amp's are on the neutral?
15 amps out and 15 amps back... unless there is a ground fault, but if that's the case you should shut down the device anyway.The answer above applies to the U.S. and Canada for 120 volt load or for a European 240V load.Note that in North America 240V it is different: For a US or Canada 240 volt load or a balanced three-phase load, there is no current flowing in the neutral.
What should the welding machine be set at for a 6010 welding rod?
it dependsif your going virticle down i would set it at about 100 amps but if your going flat or horizontal i would crank it up to about 125 amps
How many how many amps in 100 watts?
A three wire home distribution service rated at 100 amps has a wattage capacity of;From L1 to L2 at 240 volts x 100 amps = 24000 watts or 24 kilowatts. From L1 to neutral at 120 volts x 100 amps = 12000 watts or 12 kilowatts. From L2 to neutral at 120 volts x 100 amps = 12000 watts or 12 kilowatts.
I'm instaling headrest TVs and i need to find a 12 Volt wire coming from the fuse box. But everything is in Amps. How do i find it?
All the wires coming out of the fuse box of your car are 12 volt. You need to put it on a fuse that has at least the minimum amperage that your TV calls for. I'm going to guess it will need at least 10 amps.
Can ammeter be connected in neutral wire?
No, an ammeter should not be connected in the neutral wire of a circuit. It should be connected in series with the load on the live wire to measure current flowing through the circuit accurately. Disconnect the power source before connecting an ammeter and always follow safety guidelines when working with electrical circuits.
Is it necessary to balance a house fuse panel to save electricity and if so why and how is it done?
A balanced house panel should be the ultimate goal. It will not save you electricity as the watt meter on the house monitors the use of power from both legs of the incoming power. To balance a panel you want the current from L1 to Neutral to equal L2 to Neutral. The neutral carries the unbalanced current between L1 and L2. A perfectly balanced panel will have no current on the neutral. It is done by knowing what the current draw is on every breaker. Then they are physically positioned so that they equal each other on the opposite leg. e.g. breaker 1 on leg L1 = 5 amps, breaker 2 on leg L2 = 10 amps, breaker 3 on leg L1 = 10 amps, breaker 4 on leg L2 = 5 amps. Total up all amperages on L1 and then on L2 , if they are equal then the panel is balanced with no current on the neutral.
A 220 volt motor is rated at 4.0 amps is that 4.0 amps per leg or 2.0 amps per each leg?
The Full Load Amps, FLA is a rating for each winding of the motor. In this case the motor actually needs 4 amps running through it. As current needs to go somewhere (perferably not to ground) the 4 amps will circulate on you 2 Hots, the neutral isn't needed. 4A in, 4A out.
Can 12 2 w gnd wire be used for two different 20 amp circuits safely meaning I would have two separate circuits on two separate 20 amp breakers There would only be 1 white wire returning?
Yes, you can do this, but there are a few rules to follow. The white wire(neutral) should be solidly made at all device boxes in other words do not use the receptacle terminals, make all the joints solid and pigtail to the receptacle. The breakers need to be adjacent to each other in the panel, side by side on opposite buss bars. If you put them on the same buss you will overload the neutral. Use a handle tie on the breakers.I am sorry. It was the wrong question. The question really should have been: Can you wire two separate 20 amp circuits using one single romex 12-3 w/ground. Each circuit would have it's own 20 amp breaker. The Red wire would be landed on one breaker. The Black wire would be landed on another breaker. Only one #12 white wire would be available for neutral. My theory is: If you were to load both circuits to say 19 amps each, you would have 38 amps being used. The problem lies in the single white neutral's ability to handle 38 amps on it's own. Wouldn't this be a problem? Would this configuration pass in spection? You can do this with 12/3, you still have to make up your neutrals at device boxes. the neutral would not have to handle 38 amps as long as you use opposite 110volt buss. the current on the neutral if both breakers were drawing 16 amps each would be "0". The neutral only has to carry the imbalance of the two circuits. If one breaker draws 16 amps and the other 8 the current on the neutral would be 8 amps. Breakers have to be on opposite buss! for this to work. Yes, it should pass inspection.
How many cold cranking amps should a battery have for a 1999 Avalon XLS?
About 650 cc amps
Why neutral wire carry no current?
Usually yes, sometimes no. For instance: The neutral in a single-phase, 120V (in the US) branch circuit, such as one feeding receptacles, does. The neutral in a 120/240V circuit feeding a 240V appliance does not. The neutral in a 480Y feeder feeding a balanced load does not. A neutral is there because of the possibility that current flow could occur. For instance, in a US household, with 120/240V service, if you plugged in 5 100 watt lamps on one side of the line, and another 5 100 watt lamps on the other hot leg, there would be no neutral current in the service cable feeding the house. The loads are said to be 'balanced'. The 500 watts of power flowing into the first hot leg goes through the first set of lamps, then the second set, then out the other hot wire. Neutral current still flows in the individual branch circuits, of course. Now, if you moved one of the lamps to the other side, 600 watts would be coming into that side, but only 400 would be going back out the other hot wire, so 200 watts would flow through the neutral.
Can you use the neutral in a plug socket for a neon in a light switch?
yes just make sure your not using too much amps...
