What size is the wire? AWG 10, 600V is rated for 30 amps. Any AWG less than 6 would also be ok for a 30 amp circuit....

Can you use a 600v fuse in a 120v circut?

No, it is not safe to use a 600V fuse in a 120V circuit. The fuse voltage rating should be equal to or greater than the circuit voltage to ensure proper protection. Using a higher-rated fuse can lead to safety hazards and may not provide adequate protection for the circuit. It is recommended to always use the correct voltage-rated fuse for the circuit.


If your fuse box supports 20 amp fuses can you replace one current 15 amp fuse with a 20 amp fuse?

The purpose of a fuse it to protect the wire that goes to the load. A 15 amp fuse protects a #14 gauge wire. A 20 amp fuse protects a #12 gauge wire. To answer your question if the wire size is #12 coming from the 15 amp fuse now then it can be upped to 20 amp fuse. If it isn't then you are taking the risk of overloading the #14 wire with a 20 amp fuse. This can lead to insulation failure of the #14 wire, overheating with the possible outcome of a fire breaking out somewhere in the circuit.


What is thicker a 8amp fuse wire or a 15amp wire?

The 15 amp fuse.


What colour goes to fuse in American wire?

The standard color coding for fuses in American wire is as follows: 15-amp fuse: blue 20-amp fuse: yellow 30-amp fuse: green


Can you use 600v 14 gage wire on a 240v 30 amp electric dryer?

no. depending on length of run you'll need either 10 or 6 gauge wire for a 30 amp double pole breaker.


How thick is a 30 amp fuse wire?

A 30 amp fuse wire typically has a diameter of around 0.08 inches (2 millimeters).


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


Can you replace a 30 amp fuse with a 15 amp fuse?

Not a good idea. The 15 amp fuse will be protection a #14 wire which is rated for 15 amps maximum capacity. By changing the 15 amp fuse to a 30 amp fuse you would then be allowing 30 amps maximum capacity on a #14 wire. By doubling the load the extra heat generated on the smaller wire could be enough to melt the insulation from the wire and that could cause the wire to short out. If the wire shorts out inside the wall it means the removal of the wall board to replace the wire to restore the circuit to an operational condition. The proper wire sizing for a 30 amp fuse is, #10 copper wire with an insulation rating of 90 degrees C.


Can aluminum 600v wire work a 40 amp breaker?

Wire size is rated by Amperes of current. You did not mention the wire size of the aluminum wire, so there is no way to answer your question. The voltage rating is more a rating of how good the insulation around the wire is.


Size fuse for 12 AWG wire?

Use a 20 amp fuse or breaker.


Can 14 gauge wire carry 220 volt?

Wire guage is used as a measurement for the ampacity of the wire. # 14 wire is allowed 15 amp to be applied to it. Voltage is governed by the insulation factor of the wire. The three standard insulations are for 300V, 600V and 1000 volts.


Is it a safety hazard to replace a 3 amp fuse with a 5 amp fuse?

Yes. You put a bigger fuse and you will melt the wire and cause a fire hazard.
