What size electric wire for 28 amp load?
AWG # 10
What gauge wire is required to hook up an electric kitchen stove?
Normally a new kitchen stove will require a 50 amp breaker wired with AWG # 6/3 with ground wire.
What size wire do you need to run a 240V plug for a dryer?
the size of the wire that you need to run depends on the the amperage of the device/appliance you'll be hooking up to that line. Use #12 wire for 20 amp, #10 for 30 amp, #8 wire for 40 amps and #6 for 50 amps. Hope that helps.
Is it safe to use 10 gauge wire on a 20 amp breaker for a microwave?
No, 10 gauge wire requires the use of a 30 amp breaker. A 20 amp breaker is only used on 12 gauge wire.
Can you mix an 8-3 wire with a 30 amp double breaker?
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.
What size electric wire for 28 amp load?
AWG # 10
Can you use 600v 14 gage wire on a 240v 30 amp electric dryer?
no. depending on length of run you'll need either 10 or 6 gauge wire for a 30 amp double pole breaker.
Can a roasting tray be put on an electric hob?
yes as i have tried it
Do i need a double pole switch for my 7200w hob and can i wire into my 32amp ring main?
A hob will have to be on it's own circuit, usually a radial fed from the consumer unit. The reason for this is when you work out your amperage 7200 Watt divided by 230 Volts this gives you 31 Amp which is why you can't wire it into your existing ring main. With other appliances switched on it would keep tripping the protective breaker at the consumer unit.
What is a wire gauge and what is it's use?
wire gauge is used to determine the size of the wire to be installed based on the amperage draw of whatever is being hooked up on the receiving end. ie 14 gauge is for a 15 amp circuit, 12 gauge is for a 20 amp circuit, 10 gauge 30 amp etc. to get specific amp draw ratings on a particular gauge of wire look at a current National Electric code book or ugly book.
What is a common branch circuit connector?
There are many variables that affect the ratings of electrical circuits but in general: If you are asking about residential branch circuit ratings, they are listed in amps and protected by a fuse or breaker. For example, a typical residential lighting circuit is usually a 15 amp / 120 volt circuit. It will be protected by a 15 amp overcurrent device (breaker or fuse) and all components of the circuit (wire etc) must be rated for at least 15 amps. Common residential circuit ratings: 15 amp / 120 volt - lighting and receptacles 20 amp / 120 volt - bathroom, kitchen, dining room, workshop etc. receptacles 30 amp / 240 volt - electric dryer, electric water heater 40 or 50 amp / 240 volt - electric stove For minimum conductor (wire) sizing, the National Electric Code recognizes many variables that affect the ampacity (number of amps) a wire can safely carry. But in most residential circuits the following copper conductors are used: 15 amp - #14 American Wire Gauge (AWG) 20 amp - #12 AWG 30 amp - #10 AWG 40 amp - #8 AWG 50 amp - #6 AWG Aluminum is typically not used in the smaller sizes, though you may find #6 AWG used for larger (40 amp) loads

How do you run a power wire on a 1995 Pontiac sunfire?
what kind of power wire?(a power wire for an amp maybe) what kind of power wire?(a power wire for an amp maybe)
Will amp blow out if connecting the ground wire to the power wire while connected to amp?
Since the resulting short circuit would be outside the amp, it WOULD NOT blow the amp.
How to wire and amp down to 0.3 ohms?
You can wire and amp down to 0.3 ohms by decreasing its windings.
What is remote wire for car amp?
remote wire is to control amp, bass coming from subs, and the frequency
What size wire do you need to run a 240V plug for a dryer?
the size of the wire that you need to run depends on the the amperage of the device/appliance you'll be hooking up to that line. Use #12 wire for 20 amp, #10 for 30 amp, #8 wire for 40 amps and #6 for 50 amps. Hope that helps.
