Where can you find a 10 amp 125 volt fuse at?

Assuming the wiring is sized for 12 amps, you can replace your fuse with any 12 amp fuse or smaller and with a voltage rating at or above what you expect to connect to it. The amp rating protects the wire, so you cannot go above what the wire can handle. The voltage rating is the max voltage that it can safely protect, so you cannot use a fuse with a lower voltage rating than you expect to connect to.


What wire size to use for 90 amp load at 480V at 75 feet?

Up to about 100 ft the size of the wire is determined by the max current and not the distance. A 90 amp supply needs #6 wire. <<>> A #2 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3 percent or less when supplying 90 amps for 75 feet on a three phase 480 volt system.


Could you use a 12gauge wire for a 25 amp breaker single pole?

No a #12 wire is only rated for 20 amps. The 40 amp breaker will not protect the #12 wire. A 40 amp breaker should have a #8 wire connected to it which is rated at 45 amps. The only time that a breaker is allowed to be bigger that the wire size rating according to the electrical code is when a motor is connected to the breaker. This is to stop the 300 percent inrush of the motor full load amps from nuisance tripping a smaller sized breaker.


What wire size should you use with a 30 amp breaker?

No! The minimum wire size allowable is 10 gauge for a 30 amp circuit. Don't risk the chance of an inner wall fire because too small of a wire gauge was used. Never shortcut anything to do with electrical wiring. Never.


What is the Max AMP rating of a L5-30 plug?

L5 indicates the configuration and the 30 is the maximum current, in this case 30 amps.

What is the max amp for 100' 14 gauge copper wire?

At 120 volts a 15 amp circuit wired with #14 wire used for a dedicated light circuit do not install any more than 1400 total watts in lighting. If used for an dedicated outlet circuit do not install more than 8 outlets.

What is the Max amp on 10MM cable?

Canada and US - 10 mm is larger that #8 AWG and smaller that #6 AWG. To err on the safe side I will use the #6 AWG equivalent of 60 amps, RW90 insulation, copper wire.

What is the max amps on a 6 gauge copper wire?

Maximum amps for chassis wiring : 101 amps Maximum amps for power transmission : 37 amps Reference : http://www.powerstream.com/Wire_Size.htm


What is the max amps for a 4 gauge wire can 4 gauge feed a 100A breaker box?

Yes, # 4 AWG copper and 100 amps is the max.


Can you put a 20 amp breaker at 16 ga wire?

For most apps, the max amps for 16 ga is 25A, so yes.


Can you use 6-3 NM wire and 50 amp breakers and 50 amp range cord for a 40 amp max load range?

You can if you have the existing materials. If you want to keep your costs down the same installation can be installed with the following materials. For wire all that is needed is 3C #8 wire. For the breaker a two pole 40 amp will work. You will need a 4 11/16" square box to install the range receptacle into.


What is the max amps for 0 gauge wire?

A 1/0 copper wire with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 150 and 155 amps respectively.
