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.
What size hot wire do you need for a 1900 watt amp?
A 12 gauge wire can support a load of approximately 2200 watts.
How many watts is a 240 volt 20 amp fuse rated for with 12 gauge wire?
4800
What gauge wire would you need 5600 watts 240 volts 23.3 amps?
AWG # 10.
What gauge wire will you need for a 400 watt amp?
To answer this question a voltage needs to be stated. The formula needed to find the amperage is I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Voltage. Once the amperage is found, the proper size conductor to handle that current can be established. Without knowing the amperage on 400 watts a good guess would be a #14 wire. This wire size is good up to 1440 watts at 120 volts.
