What size main breaker do you need to run 10 gauge wire?

The size of the main breaker depends on the maximum current rating of the 10 gauge wire and the load it will be powering. Typically, a 10 gauge wire is rated for a maximum current of 30 amps. Therefore, a 30 amp main breaker would be suitable for running 10 gauge wire. However, it is important to consult local electrical codes and consider the specific load requirements before making a final determination.


How do you know if the AC breaker matches the AC unit starting demand load?

Read the literature for the ac condensing unit, or the tag on the outside of the unit. Minimum circuit ampacity= minimum breaker, wire and fuse size. Maximum circuit ampacity= the maximum size. Your circuit breaker, wire size and disconnect fuses should all be at or between those 2 numbers.


When installing a circuit breaker do you size the breaker to correct wire size or the device its controlling?

When installing a circuit breaker, you size the breaker based on the wire size. The breaker should be matched to the ampacity of the wire to ensure proper protection against overloads and short circuits. The device being controlled by the breaker is not a determining factor in sizing the breaker.

The only safe way to change your (fuse/breaker) would be to check your wire size and your load size. Fourteen guage wire is rated for a maximum capacity of 15 amps, if your wire size if 12 guage copper then the answer to your question is yes you can change your (fuse/breaker) to a 20amp. You should also call a qualified electrician to install your (fuse/breaker)
