It depends upon the length. 10 gauge is rated for 30 amps to about 100 ft. However if running longer than 100 feet, you should drop down a gauge to #8.

How do we calculate the cable size for electrical installations?

Electrical wire size is directly dependant on the load amperage that is connected to it. The higher the load amperage, the larger the cross sectional area of the wire needs to be. The connected amperage to a conductor is determined by a group of electrical experts and their results are then written into the latest addition of the electrical code book of the country in which you live.


What size cable is required for 220 v with twin 30 amp breakers?

#10 wire is used on a 30 amp service.

Can you use 15 amp appliance on 20 amp socket?

Yes, the amp rating is a measurement of the highest amp load it should carry. So a 15 amp appliance will work on a 20 amp socket but you wouldn't want to use a 20 amp appliance on a 15 amp socket.

How many amps can 25mm sq electrical cable can carry?

Can a 40 amp cook top be connected to 10 3 wire in a 30 amp circuit?

If you are talking about splicing a 40 amp cook top into an existing 3C #10 30 amp circuit then the answer is no. An appliance with that load ampacity needs to have its own dedicated circuit. This would consist of 3C #8 wire cable fed from a two pole 40 amp breaker located in the distribution panel.


Where is the fuel pump fuse on a 1993 Ford Escort?

On the left front fender well in an electrical box. 10 amp fuse.


Can an electric range be powered from the same circuit as an electric dyer?

No. The two appliances usually have dedicated circuits. The range will have a two pole 40 amp breaker and be fed with a 3-C #8 copper cable. The dryer will have a 30 amp two pole breaker and be fed with a 3-C # 10 copper cable. As you can see by powering a 40 amp device from a 30 amp breaker, full operation of the range will trip the 30 amp breaker.
