What size hot wire do you need for a 1900 watt amp?
A 12 gauge wire can support a load of approximately 2200 watts.
How is a hot water heater wired from the power source to the heater?
10/3 wire with 30 amp double pole breaker from panel box to water heater.
What gauge aluminum wire is needed for 100 amp load?
2 AWG.
Is a 15 amp 2 wire outlet wired with copper wire?
Yes it is wired with copper 2 wire is also known as 14/2 wire is use for switches,outlets,lights. and a 15a outlet should only be on a 15a breaker the main power feed to your meter to your panel is aluminum and can take more of a load than copper. In the US, 15 amp receptacles can be installed on 20 amp circuits if there is more than one receptacle on that circuit. Copper wire can carry a larger load than aluminum wire of the same size.
What size wire do you need to run a 240V plug for a dryer?
the size of the wire that you need to run depends on the the amperage of the device/appliance you'll be hooking up to that line. Use #12 wire for 20 amp, #10 for 30 amp, #8 wire for 40 amps and #6 for 50 amps. Hope that helps.
What wire size will carry a 40 amp load?
AWG # 8
What is wire size for 5 amp 120VAC load?
AWG # 14
What size Aluminum wire will carry 50 Amp load?
Awg #6
What size of wire should you used to 10 amp load?
2.5 squre mm
What wire size needed for 120 volt 3000 watt load?
AWG # 10 wire on 30 amp circuit.
What size hot wire do you need for a 1900 watt amp?
A 12 gauge wire can support a load of approximately 2200 watts.
What size copper wire between meter base and load center for 200 amp service?
Number 2 American Wire Gauge
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.
How do you choose the right fuse for the job?
The correct size fuse needed is based on the size wire used in the circuit. The size wire needed is based on the load that will be applied to the circuit. 1. AWG 14/2 wire = 15 amp fuse 2. AWG 12/2 wire = 20 amp fuse 3. AWG 10/2 wire = 30 amp fuse 4. AWG 8/2 wire = 40 amp fuse
What size wire do you need for 20 amp 220 volt electric motor?
12 AWG in most circumstances.
What is the amp size of a 8 wire?
40 amp
Is it ok to exchange a 20 amp breaker with a 40 amp breaker?
No. The 20 amp breaker is probably protecting a #12 wire. Connecting a 40 amp breaker to the 20 amp #12 wire would seriously overload the #12 wire. This means that if the load increased to a full 40 amps the insulation on the smaller size wire would most likely melt off and the wire could short out.
