Can you splice a 10 ga wire to a 20 ga wire?
30 gauge wire is much "thinner" than 10 gauge wire. Hence, if you are using 10 gauge for an application requiring only 30 gauge, it will more than handle any current flow. However, if the application requires 10 gauge wire you cannot use 30 gauge wire.
What is the minimum amps for a 220 outlet?
The gauge of wire is referenced to the capacity of a wire to carry amperage and has nothing to do with the voltage. The voltage of a wire is determined by the type of insulation that surrounds the wire. The size of the wire is determined by the amperage of the load and the distance from the supply.
What is amp size for 22 gauge wire?
The maximum amperage it can carry for power transmission is .92 amps.
What do wire gauges mean?
A wire gauge is a number that indicates how thick the wire is. A larger gauge number means a thinner wire. Gauge and diameter can be linked by looking up wire tables.
What type wire is best for automotve DC current?
Copper or aluminum AWG. As for gauge and such, it depends on how much amperage you have running through it, and the length of wire.
What is the amperage limit of 10 gauge solid wire?
Typically 30 amps.
How many volts will 4 gauge wire handle?
the gauge of the wire determines how much amperage a wire can carry the insulation determines how much voltage the wire can handle

If kilowatts are known how to you find the proper wire size?
Wire size needed depends on amperage, not watts. If you know the voltage of the power supplied you can calculate the amperage using this form of the "power formula":A = W / VThen there are tables that tell the amperage each wire gauge is capable of carrying. Just select the gauge that has the amperage rating just larger than you calculated.
What is amperage limit of 12 gage solid copper wire?
20 Amp

What gauge wire do you need to carry 240 volts 1000 yards?
Wire sizes are governed by the amperage the wire is to carry. To answer this question the load current is required.
What gauge wire for a jacuzzi with a 40 foot run?
Depends on the amperage of the Jacuzzi and if it is 120 or 240 volts.
What is amp size for 22 gauge wire?
The maximum amperage it can carry for power transmission is .92 amps.

Is a 6 gauge wire larger than a 12 gauge wire?
Yes, the smaller gauge number, the larger the wire is.
