How many watts and romex gauge is safe for a 15amp breaker?
Assuming 120 VAC in a residence maximum watts = 15 x 120 = 1800 Watts. For a continuous load you can support 1440 watts which is 80& of maximum. You need 14 AWG gauge wire.
How many watts is a 240 volt 20 amp fuse rated for with 12 gauge wire?
4800
How many amps will 4.0 gauge wire carry?
140 AMPS
How many watts can run through 12-3 wire?
Wire is rated in ampacity, You can use only 80% of the rated ampacity. Voltage and amperage are inversely proportional. So at 120 volts alternating current you safely run 1800 watts ( I have added a small safety margin). At 240 volts you can run 3600 watts. I hope this has answered you question Ampsxvolts=watts watts/volts=amps
How many watts are equal to 1 hp?
1hp = 745.7 watts
