What else can I help you with?
How do you determine which wire is the 'feed' wire?
Check it with a voltmeter or with a voltage detector.
How big is 6 gauge wire?
The size of the wire is stated by its gauge under American Wire Gauge. Six gauge wire is size 6 AWG.
What size wire is required for 277 volt fluorescent lighting?
Wire size is governed by amperage not voltage. Voltage is an insulation factor when talking about wire. Add up the amperage of fixtures you want in the circuit. Once that is found then the size of the wire can be calculated.
What size wire to use to install a thermostat?
Use what is called bell wire or thermostat wire.
What is the minimum wire size used in a commercial building?
The minimum size wire that engineers spec for industrial and commercial installations is #12 and it usually is stranded not solid wire.
What size wire should be used for a range?
The size of wire needed for a range depends on the electrical requirements of the appliance. It is recommended to consult the manufacturer's specifications or a qualified electrician to determine the appropriate wire size for your specific range.
What information does the sub panel wire size chart provide for determining the appropriate wire size for a sub panel installation?
The sub panel wire size chart provides information on the recommended wire size based on the amperage of the sub panel, the distance the wire needs to run, and the type of wire insulation. This helps determine the appropriate wire size for a sub panel installation to ensure safety and efficiency.
What size wire should be used for a sub panel installation?
The size of wire needed for a sub panel installation depends on the amperage of the sub panel. It is recommended to consult with a licensed electrician to determine the appropriate wire size for your specific installation.
How do you determine the proper fusing of a circuit?
Fusing is based on wire size and demand load.
What size wire do I need for my electrical project?
The size of wire you need for your electrical project depends on the amount of current the circuit will carry. Consult the National Electrical Code (NEC) or a qualified electrician to determine the appropriate wire size for your specific project.
What information can I find in a conduit and wire size chart?
A conduit and wire size chart provides information on the recommended wire sizes to use with different types and sizes of conduits. It helps determine the appropriate wire gauge for a specific conduit size to ensure safe and efficient electrical installations.
What information does the wire fill chart in the NEC provide for determining the appropriate wire size for electrical installations?
The wire fill chart in the NEC provides information on the maximum number and size of wires that can be safely installed in a conduit or raceway, helping determine the appropriate wire size for electrical installations.
What gauge wire do you need for 12 volts at 4.2 amps in my car for a light H11 Light bulb?
Almost any size wire will handle the 4.2 amps. BUT...as with any wiring, you must look at the over current device to determine the proper size. You need to determine which fuse in the fuse panel protects that circuit and use a wire that is appropriate for that size fuse.
What size wire should be used for a hot water heater?
The size of wire needed for a hot water heater depends on the heater's wattage and the distance from the electrical panel. It is recommended to consult a professional electrician to determine the appropriate wire size for your specific hot water heater.
What is the recommended wire size for a sub panel installation?
The recommended wire size for a sub panel installation is typically determined by the amperage of the sub panel. It is important to consult the National Electrical Code (NEC) or a qualified electrician to determine the appropriate wire size for your specific installation.
What information can I find in the 80 amp wire size chart?
In the 80 amp wire size chart, you can find information about the appropriate wire size to use for electrical circuits that require a maximum current of 80 amps. This chart will help you determine the correct wire gauge to ensure safety and efficiency in your electrical installations.
What information can I find in the underground wire size chart?
The underground wire size chart provides information on the recommended wire sizes for different types of underground electrical installations based on factors like voltage, current, and distance. It helps determine the appropriate wire size to ensure safe and efficient electrical connections.
