Number eight wire (AWG 8) can typically carry around 40 to 55 amps, depending on factors like insulation type, ambient temperature, and installation conditions. For example, in a residential setting with copper wire and typical insulation, it is often rated for 40 amps for continuous loads. Always consult the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local regulations for specific applications and safety considerations.

How many amps can a volt transformer with a A volt secondary carry?

The number of amps a transformer can carry on its secondary side depends on its power rating (in watts or VA) and the voltage of the secondary winding. You can calculate the current (in amps) using the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. For example, if you have a 1000 VA transformer with a 10V secondary, it can carry 100 amps (1000 VA / 10V = 100A). Always ensure the transformer is rated for the desired load to avoid overheating or damage.

How many amps do pylons carry?

The amount of current (amps) that pylons, or transmission towers, carry can vary significantly depending on the voltage of the transmission lines and the specific design of the system. High-voltage transmission lines can carry anywhere from hundreds to thousands of amps. For example, a typical high-voltage line operating at 500 kV might carry around 1,000 to 2,000 amps. Overall, the exact current is determined by the needs of the electrical grid and the load being supplied.
