Use a 20 amp fuse or breaker.
What size is the wire? AWG 10, 600V is rated for 30 amps. Any AWG less than 6 would also be ok for a 30 amp circuit....
Any wire size larger that a # 18 AWG can be fused at 2 amps.

what size wire would be required for an ak012 with a power supply of 208/240-3-60 hz
I think he is asking what the lettering has to do with the label on a fuse. sfe, awg acg, aug,etc. Can they be used interchangeability.
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

AWG 16
The equivalent mm2 cross-sectional area of a 5.26 mm2 conductor is a # 10 AWG conductor. A # 10 AWG conductor size is protected by a 30 amp fuse.
No, you would need at least 20 amps. But the fuse must match the wiring. A 20 amp fuse will require the use of AWG # 12 wire.

12 awg is larger.

If you are referring to a cloths dryer, the answer depends on the requirements of the dryer. Most dryers require AWG#10 wire with a 30 amp fuse. If the wiring is AWG#12 then use a 20 amp breaker but never use it on AWG#10 which requires a 30 amp breaker. If you are referring to a hair dryer then yes a 20 amp breaker is fine.
