A #12 wire can carry 20 amps. Assuming the connected voltage is 120 volts the wattage will be Watts = Amps x Volts. W = 20 x 120 = 2400 watts. The circuit can legally be loaded to 80%. 2400 x 80% = 1920 watts. The maximum amount of loads that can be connected to a 20 amp #12 wire have to be added up individually but stay under 1920 watts.
Each circuit wired with 12 gauage wire requires one 20 amp breaker.
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.
You will need a 40 amp breaker using AWG # 8 wire running it a distance of no more than 50 feet.
Yes it is wired with copper 2 wire is also known as 14/2 wire is use for switches,outlets,lights. and a 15a outlet should only be on a 15a breaker the main power feed to your meter to your panel is aluminum and can take more of a load than copper. In the US, 15 amp receptacles can be installed on 20 amp circuits if there is more than one receptacle on that circuit. Copper wire can carry a larger load than aluminum wire of the same size.
No, 10 gauge wire requires the use of a 30 amp breaker. A 20 amp breaker is only used on 12 gauge wire.
You never, ever mix wire sizes within a circuit. However you can wire a 30 amp circuit using AWG # 8/3 wire, although that is overkill and AWG #10 wire is what you would normally use on a 30 amp circuit.
AWG # 8
Yes, 18 gauge wire can typically carry 1 amp of current safely. However, it's always good practice to consult the specific wire manufacturer's specifications to ensure its safe usage.
The current carrying capacity of a wire is dependent on the material and insulation of the wire. Without this information, it is difficult to determine the exact amperage 35mm2 wire can carry. It is recommended to refer to the wire manufacturer's specifications or a wire ampacity table for this information.
Imperial cable 120/0.012" 60 amp Metric cable 120/0.30mm 55.5 amp 80/0.40mm 70 amp.
For a 50 Amp load, a 6-gauge aluminum wire would be suitable for most installations. It is important to consult local electrical codes and regulations to ensure compliance with safety standards.
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.
what kind of power wire?(a power wire for an amp maybe) what kind of power wire?(a power wire for an amp maybe)
Since the resulting short circuit would be outside the amp, it WOULD NOT blow the amp.
You can wire and amp down to 0.3 ohms by decreasing its windings.
remote wire is to control amp, bass coming from subs, and the frequency
The amp size of a wire is determined by its gauge, not the number of wires. An 8-gauge wire is typically rated for around 40-60 amps, depending on the type and insulation of the wire.
The amp rating of NM (Non-Metallic) wire varies depending on the gauge of the wire. For example, a 14-gauge NM wire typically has an amp rating of 15 amps, while a 12-gauge NM wire has an amp rating of 20 amps. It is important to consult local building codes and regulations to determine the appropriate wire gauge and amp rating for specific applications.
