depends on length of circuit, continuous duty or not. not knowing these factors i would say 12awg on a 20a breaker.
The recommended wire size for a 220 volt circuit according to the 220 volt wire size chart is typically 10 gauge wire for a circuit with a maximum of 30 amps.
Look on the heater and see what amps it is pulling. That will determine the wire size and breaker size. It must be on a dedicated circuit. 15 amps = AWG # 14 wire with 15 amp breaker 20 amps = AWG # 12 wire with 20 amp breaker 30 amps = AWG # 10 wire with 30 amp breaker 40 amps = AWG # 8 wire with 40 amp breaker
A 15000 watt 240 volt heater would require a 62.5 amp circuit breaker. To accommodate this exact load, you would typically use the next standard breaker size above 62.5 amps, which is a 70 amp breaker to ensure safety and proper operation of the heater.
A #10 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 21 amps for 150 feet on a 240 volt system.
For a 220 volt circuit at 54 amps, you would need a wire rated for at least 6 AWG (American Wire Gauge) size to handle the current safely. It's always recommended to consult with a licensed electrician or refer to local electrical codes for specific requirements.
For a 100 watt 12 volt lamp, you should use a wire gauge size of at least 18 AWG to ensure it can handle the current without overheating. It's always best to refer to the manufacturer's recommendations for the specific lamp you are using.
The wire rating for a # 12 wire is 20 amps. If you are going to continuously load the circuit you need to de-rate the wire by 80%. This brings the current down to 20 x .8 = 16 amps. The wire rating of a # 10 wire is 30 amps. 30 x .8 = 24 amps.
To wire a 12-volt heater motor in place of a 2-wire 6-volt heater motor, first ensure that your power source can supply 12 volts. Connect the positive wire from the 12-volt heater motor to the positive terminal of the power supply, and connect the negative wire to the negative terminal. Make sure to use appropriate fuses or circuit breakers to protect the system from overcurrent. Lastly, confirm that the motor's specifications are compatible with your application to avoid damage.
The sizing of a breaker is dependant upon the size of the wire it protects. The size of the wire is dependant upon what the load current in amps is. Without the amperage and wattage and the voltage of the appliances an answer can not be given. W = A x V, Amps = Watts/ Volts.
No, 14-2 wire is not suitable for two 1500-watt baseboard heaters on a 240-volt circuit. Each 1500-watt heater draws approximately 6.25 amps, totaling about 12.5 amps for both. However, 14-gauge wire is rated for a maximum of 15 amps, which is close to the limit and does not provide a safe margin. It is recommended to use 12-gauge wire, which is rated for 20 amps, to ensure safety and compliance with electrical codes.
AWG #3 copper.
The electrical code states that a 7.5 HP 460 volt three phase motor draws 11 amps. For fuse sizes, non time delay - 30 amps, time delay type D - 20 amps and if using a breaker it will be 30 amps. Minimum wire size is #12 and the maximum setting of overload devices will be 13.75 amps
