Best Answer

A #14 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated 15 amps. If it is continuously loaded it has to be de rated to 80% capacity. 15 x .8 = 12 amps. You are well within the range of a #14 wire, only drawing 8.3 amps.

How much can a 20 kilowatt generator power a home's furnace and vital appliances?

The formula to use is I = W/E. Amps = 20000/240 = 83 amps. Check the nameplate of the equipment that you want to connect to the generator. You can add equipment up to the total of 20000 watts or 83 amps.


How much would you weigh on Mars if you weigh 220 pounds on Earth?

The surface gravity on Mars is about 38% of the Earth's. 220 x 0.38 = 83.6 : So, you would weigh about 83 (and a half) pounds.


Is a 60 amp breaker enough to for a 10kw heat strip?

Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hertz supply service.On heating elements of higher wattage 240 volts is usually the working voltage. 10000/240 = 41.6 amps. A #8 copper wire with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 45 amps. Code states that the conductor can only be loaded to 80% so 45 x .8 = 36 amps. A #6 copper wire with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 65 amps. 65 x .8 = 52 amps. No. Power = Voltage X Current.....so a 10,000 watt heat strip will draw 10,000 watts / 120 volts = 83 ampsNot so fast.Actually, it depends on the manufacturers guidelines. My 10KW heat strip, in my hvac system, is rated ( by the manufacturer ) at 41.7 amps.8 AWG wire is rated at 40 amps. 6 AWG wire at 50 amps.I used 6 AWG wire and a 50 amp breaker. I passed the electrical inspection.

83 cm = 32.68 inches. 83 cm = 32.68 inches. 83 cm = 32.68 inches. 83 cm = 32.68 inches.


How many amps does a 120 Volt irrigation controller draw?

Different controllers have different outputs depending on how many valves are on each zone. In the device there is a control transformer. Look for the VA output of the transformer's secondary side. Mine states 20 VA at 24 volts. To find the amperage use the following equation. I = W/V. Amps = Watts or VA/Volts. Mine can output 20 divided by 24 = .83 amps. This amperage will be the maximum output in amps that the controller can produce to operate the zone valves. To find the current draw of the primary side of the transformer divide the transformers VA by 120 volts.
