The minimum size wire to be fed from a 20 amp breaker is a #12 AWG.

∙ 11y agoNo, 10 gauge wire requires the use of a 30 amp breaker. A 20 amp breaker is only used on 12 gauge wire.
No. A 20 amp breaker needs 12 gauge wire.
14 gauge will handle it with a 15 amp breaker. If you use 12 gauge use a 20 amp breaker.
Yes.
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.

Use AWG 12/2 with ground.
Typically yes if you use a 30 amp breaker and the dryer uses 230-240 volts.
Sure. As long as it is connected to a 15 amp circuit breaker. That is the normal gauge wiring for residential lighting. For commercial 12 gauge on a 20 amp breaker is normal.
A 30 amp breaker run 75 feet would require you use AWG #10 wire. But, an oven normally pulls more that 30 amps and I would not use #10 wire on a 30 amp breaker for an oven. Normally any newer oven is wired with AWG #6 gauge wire on a 50 amp circuit breaker so the breaker will not trip during heavy use of the oven. Some older ovens could use a #8 wire on a 40 amp breaker.
Yes, if you are running it no farther than 100 feet. If you are going over 100 feet use AWG # 10 wire on the 20 amp breaker.
Depends on what size wire was used in that circuit. AWG #10 wire requires the use of a 30 amp breaker AWG #12 wire requires the use of a 20 amp breaker AWG #14 wire requires the use of a 15 amp breaker Check the wire size in the circuit and you will know what size breaker to use. It is not going to be a 25 amp breaker.
