What gauge wire for 20A?
12 AWG.
What can you operate on 120 volts at 30 amps?
Yes, if you are using AWG # 10 wire. If you are using AWG # 12 then the answer is no you must use a 20 amp breaker. On AWG #14 wire you must use a 15 amp breaker.
What gauge wire for 220 volts?
You need to know the amperage to size the wire. For 220 V at 20 A you would need 12 AWG. At 220 V at 30 A 10 AWG.
Can a 240 volt circuit using number-12 wire handle a 4500 watt appliance?
No, the 20 amp (AWG #12) wire will be too small, you need to use AWG #10 wire. Even though 4500 watts is less that the 20 amp it can only be loaded to 80% by NEC rules which is 18.75 amps. The #12 wire would be overloaded so defiantly use AWG #10.
Size fuse for 12 AWG wire?
Use a 20 amp fuse or breaker.
