What is the capacity in amperes 20 amp circuit breaker supplying a continuous load?

For a continuous load the circuit breaker is set 25% higher than the load current. So a 20-amp breaker is used with a continuous 16-amp load.


What is noncontinuous load?

A continuous load is a constant load. A noncontinuous load is one that varies over time.


What measured load can you put on an electrical panel?

If you have a measured continuous load of say 80 Amps, you would want to have a panel rated at 100 A. For continuous load you want to be at 80% of rated capacity.


Can you have an 18 amp appliance on a 20 amp circuit?

You should not exceed 80% of the breaker rating for a continuous load. Therefore, the continuous load should not exceed 16 amps.


What is an electrical continuous load?

The NEC defines a continuous load as that which may run for three hours or more. Examples of these are: electric heat, water heaters, AC units, and even lighting circuits.


What does a continuous load on a breaker mean?

Is a load(appliance) that runs at max current for 3 hours or more at a time.


What is loadings?

A continuous load is a constant load. A noncontinuous load is one that varies over time.


Is the strength of a chopped strand mat CSM fiber composite always less than that of an aligned continuous fiber composite with the same volume of fibers?

That depends on the direction in wich you apply the load. If the Load is applied in the direction of the lenght of the continuous fibre this is definitely the case. However if the load is applied perpendicular on the fibre direction of the continuous fibre the CSM will be the one with the higher strenght of the two.


What is the continuous working load on a 50 amp breaker?

As stated in the electrical code, circuits are to be loaded to 80 percent of the total capacity when operating in a continuous state..


How do you claculate the secondary load of a step up transformer?

Any continuous load shouldn't exceed the rated capacity of the transformer, expressed in volt amperes.
