What size circuit breaker for GFCI circuit in a normal size bath?
Normally it is a 20 amp using AWG 12/2 gauge wire. But it really depends on what size wire is on that circuit. If it is white AWG 14 gauge then use a 15 amp breaker. If it is yellow AWG 12 gauge then use a 20 amp breaker.
What size wire for 10 amp service with 1100 foot run?
AWG 12 will suffice.
What gauge wire for 220 volts?
You need to know the amperage to size the wire. For 220 V at 20 A you would need 12 AWG. At 220 V at 30 A 10 AWG.
What gauge wire for 20A?
12 AWG.
What size amp circuit breaker should be used for 110 outlet?
The size breaker you use is determined by the size wire used in the circuit. If you use AWG #12/2 wire then use a 20 amp breaker. If you use AWG # 14/2 then use a 15 amp breaker.
How do you choose the right fuse for the job?
The correct size fuse needed is based on the size wire used in the circuit. The size wire needed is based on the load that will be applied to the circuit. 1. AWG 14/2 wire = 15 amp fuse 2. AWG 12/2 wire = 20 amp fuse 3. AWG 10/2 wire = 30 amp fuse 4. AWG 8/2 wire = 40 amp fuse
What is 12 awg?
Size 12 in the American Wire Guage (AWG). It's a wire of about 1/10 inch diameter.
What is the smallest copper wire size permitted by the national electric code for a 20 amp single phase electrical circuit?
I think you mean either what is the correct size or minimum wire size needed when a branch circuit is protected by a 20 A breaker. The size is 12 American Wire gauge (AWG). 14 AWG is used for 15 A circuit and 10 AWG for a 30 A breaker. The lower the gauge the larger the cross-section of the wire.
What size fuse to what size wire in cars 12 volt?
There are multiple fuses in your car protecting various loads. Wire gauge depends on load. The gauge or wire for the battery might be 8 AWG to handle high cranking currents for starter motor. 14 AWG wire might be employed for loads requiring 15 amps or less and so forth.
What size wire is used for a 20 Amp electrical circuit in a building?
12 AWG.
Which is larger in diameter12 AWG or 15 AWG wire?
12 awg is larger.

What size wire for 10 amp service with 1100 foot run?
AWG 12 will suffice.
What size wire and breaker do you need for a 5000 watt garage heater?
Look on the heater and see what amps it is pulling. That will determine the wire size and breaker size. It must be on a dedicated circuit. 15 amps = AWG # 14 wire with 15 amp breaker 20 amps = AWG # 12 wire with 20 amp breaker 30 amps = AWG # 10 wire with 30 amp breaker 40 amps = AWG # 8 wire with 40 amp breaker
What gauge wire for 220 volts?
You need to know the amperage to size the wire. For 220 V at 20 A you would need 12 AWG. At 220 V at 30 A 10 AWG.
What type of wire gauge should be used for a 20-amperes circuit?
Yes, 12 AWG is good for 25 Amps if copper wire.If aluminum wire, then good for 20 Amps.
What size amp circuit breaker should be used for a home entertainment system?
You use the correct size breaker depending on the size wire in the circuit. If the circuit is wired with AWG #12 wire use a 20 amp breaker. If it is wired with AWG #14 wire then use a 15 amp breaker.
