What is the difference in electrical wire sizes and can too small gauge wire effect your electric bill?

no it won't, it will only effect your circuit breakers........your bill depends on how much electricity u use.................
------------------
Conductors that are too small will actually reduce your electric bill, but for bad reasons. Smaller conductors have higher resistance which reduce how many amps can flow. But at the same time can produce more heat and provide less voltage than you need to equipment.
Smaller conductors consume more power in themselves, limiting how much power gets to equipment.

Where does ground wire connect to gauge panel on 1981 corvette?
there is no ground in a car electrical system.
What is gauge 8 means in copper electrical wire?
In cooper electrical wire, gauge 8 means the wire size assigned by the American Wire Gauge (AWG) system. That is why you always will hear about AWG WIRE, it's not the type of wire is the gauge that we are talking about. A gauge 8 wire will be used for connections requiring from 40-45 amps to a maximum of 73 amps. (24 for power transmission). Diameter of an 8 AWG wire is 0.12849 inches. 8 AWG is solid, not stranded.
What is micro manometer pressure?
A manometer is a pressure gauge. A micro manometer is either a really small pressure gauge, or a pressure gauge used to measure really small pressure difference.
What gauge of wire is needed for a 70A 240V?
The National Electrical Code calls for #4 copper or #2 aluminum.
Where can you find electrical wiring information for a 1972 mobile home particularly the gauge and type of wiring?
it will be printed on the wire
Is the oil pressure gauge on a 1996 S10 electrical or mechanical?
The gauge should be electrical.
What is the Difference between pressure indicator and pressure gauge?
Pressure Indicator is any instrument that indicates pressure. Pressure Gauge is also a type of pressure Indicator. It is a mechanical device. Pressure indicators can work on mechanical deflection (in case of pressure gauge) or Piezo electric effect, change in capacitance, change in inductance etc. These are generally digital type instruments.
Will a 700R4 out of a 85 caprice fit in a 88 Chevy 1500 2wd?
yes but the speedometer might not work depending if it is a mechanical or electrical gauge. the trucks are electric and i believe the speedometer is mechanical in the caprice but the parts are interchangeable for the gauge
What is the function of the wire gauge?
Wire gauge is a measurement of how large a wire is, either in diameter or cross sectional area. This determines the amount of electric current a wire can safely carry, as well as its electrical resistance and weight per unit of length.
What gauge wire is used for electric furnace heating elements?
normally 8 gauge wire is used for electric heat furnaces.
Does a 1999 Ford Explorer have a mechanical or electric oil pressure gauge?
The oil pressure gauge in a 1999 Ford Explorer is ELECTRIC
What is the inductance of Mechanical strain gauge?
"Mechanical Strain gauges" do not have inductance. There are many types of strain gauge: Mechanical, photoelastic, electrical etc.... Are you wanting the inductance of an electrical strain gauge? if so which type?
What is the difference between normal pressure gauge and differential pressure gauge?
A pressure gauge indicates actual pressure and a differential pressure gauge indicates the difference in pressure.
What is difference between 20-gauge and 28-gauge?
20 gauge is larger
How do you calculate wire gauge?
Wire gauge capacity is taken from a table in the electrical code book.
Is gauge light on jeep is electrical problem?
Yes
Is petrol an electrical insulator?
Yes. That is why they can place an electric gas pump inside a gas tanks fuel system without a problem. The fuel gauge is bare inside the fuel and would not function in water.
