What size electric wire for 28 amp load?
AWG # 10
What gauge wire is required to hook up an electric kitchen stove?
Normally a new kitchen stove will require a 50 amp breaker wired with AWG # 6/3 with ground wire.
What size wire do you need to run a 240V plug for a dryer?
the size of the wire that you need to run depends on the the amperage of the device/appliance you'll be hooking up to that line. Use #12 wire for 20 amp, #10 for 30 amp, #8 wire for 40 amps and #6 for 50 amps. Hope that helps.
Is it safe to use 10 gauge wire on a 20 amp breaker for a microwave?
No, 10 gauge wire requires the use of a 30 amp breaker. A 20 amp breaker is only used on 12 gauge wire.
Can you mix an 8-3 wire with a 30 amp double breaker?
You never, ever mix wire sizes within a circuit. However you can wire a 30 amp circuit using AWG # 8/3 wire, although that is overkill and AWG #10 wire is what you would normally use on a 30 amp circuit.
What size electric wire for 28 amp load?
AWG # 10
Can you use 600v 14 gage wire on a 240v 30 amp electric dryer?
no. depending on length of run you'll need either 10 or 6 gauge wire for a 30 amp double pole breaker.
What size wire do you need for 20 amp 220 volt electric motor?
12 AWG in most circumstances.
What is coulmb?
(coulomb) A quantity of electric charge. Passage of 1 coulomb per second along a wire is called 1 amp (ampere) of electric current.
Can a roasting tray be put on an electric hob?
yes as i have tried it
Do i need a double pole switch for my 7200w hob and can i wire into my 32amp ring main?
A hob will have to be on it's own circuit, usually a radial fed from the consumer unit. The reason for this is when you work out your amperage 7200 Watt divided by 230 Volts this gives you 31 Amp which is why you can't wire it into your existing ring main. With other appliances switched on it would keep tripping the protective breaker at the consumer unit.
What is a wire gauge and what is it's use?
wire gauge is used to determine the size of the wire to be installed based on the amperage draw of whatever is being hooked up on the receiving end. ie 14 gauge is for a 15 amp circuit, 12 gauge is for a 20 amp circuit, 10 gauge 30 amp etc. to get specific amp draw ratings on a particular gauge of wire look at a current National Electric code book or ugly book.
Hob which has a total of 5.9KW what amp hob cooker switch do you need?
5900/230 or 240(volts) gives you 25.65 & 24.58 Amps Retrospectively, Stick it on a 32A breaker.
Can work wire for 100 amps use for 60 amps circuit?
If you have 100 amp wire, you can use it for a 60 amp circuit, or for any circuit of 100 amps or less. But if you have a 60 amp circuit, 60 amp wire is thinner and cheaper than 100 amp wire.
What all can you use 6 3 wire for?
I just used it to run my 50 amp electric stove. You can use it for a small sub-panel.
What is the amp size of a 8 wire?
40 amp
What gauge wire is required to hook up an electric kitchen stove?
Normally a new kitchen stove will require a 50 amp breaker wired with AWG # 6/3 with ground wire.
