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.

Can you join a 6000w cooker hop with a 30 amp junction box?

30 amps at 120 volts is 3600 watts. 30 amps at 240 volts is 7200 watts.


220 volts 1 phase 30 amps 120 feet what size wire?

A #8 AWG copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C will limit the voltage drop to 2.26% or less when supplying 30 amps for 120 feet on a 220 volt system.


What wire size needed for a RV 30 amp 120v at 90 feet?

For single phase 30 amps at 120 volts you would need a #8 copper wire with an insulation rating of 90 degrees C.


A 120 V power supply connected to a 30 ohm resistor will produce how many amps of current?

A 120V power supply connected to a 30 Ohm resistor will produce 120/30 or 4 amps of current.


How many amps for 120 volts?

As many as you want. It depends on the capacity of your supply. Let me break this down. Current or amps is what is drawn by a device or a load. For example, lets say you plug in a 1500 watt 120 volt space heater and turn it on. Now you want to know what kind of amperage is being drawn by this device. Take 1500 watts and divide 120 volts into it. The answer will be your amperage or current. The current draw would be 12.5 amps. (I know there are other people out there who say no no that is not entirely right. I know this. I do not wish to give a lesson in calculating impedance when this answer is close enough and is with in a safe range of accuracy. Just keeping it simple)Another fact that may be of interest to you is there is as much as a 8000 fault amp potential in the average 100 amp service panel. This means that if your two lines coming into your panel would short it would blow up. This is what is called an Arc Blast.

What is ampere rating of 10 gauge wire at 120 volts and at 240 volts?

30 amps.


How many amps are in ohms?

It's not that simple. The basic formula is Volts / Ohms = Amps. For 30 Volts you'd get 0.5 Amps, for 60 Volts you'd get 1 Amp, for 120 Volts you'd get 2 Amps.

How many amps are in 280 watts with 120 volts?

W = Amps times Volts. A = W/V, A = 300/120 = 2.5 amps


What is the current from 30 watts at 120 volts?

Using the formula P = IV (power = current x voltage), you can rearrange it to solve for current: I = P/V. Plugging in the values, the current would be 0.25 amps (30 watts / 120 volts = 0.25 amps).


If the potential difference across a load is 60 volts and the resistance of the load is 10 ohms the current is amperes.?

It's not that simple. The basic formula is Volts / Ohms = Amps. For 30 Volts you'd get 0.5 Amps, for 60 Volts you'd get 1 Amp, for 120 Volts you'd get 2 Amps.


How many amps in 3500 watts with 120 volts?

That depends on the voltage, but the residential standard is 240 volt. At that voltage you sit at around 15 amps, however it MUST be on a 20 amp circuit for national (US) or Canadian electrical code, as you can only load your circuit to 80% of it's capacity.


At 12 volts how many watts is 30 amps?

Watts is volts times amps, so 12 x 30 = 360 watts


A 120V power supply connected to a 30ohm resistor will produce amps of current?

V=IR, V=120 VOLTS R=30 OHMS I=V/R, I=120/30, I = 4Amps


220 volts 1 phase 30 amps 120 feet what size wire?

If you have a 30 amp breaker how many watts can it use?

To answer this question a voltage must be given. Watts = Amps x Volts. <<>> Answer At 115 volts ac, 30 amps equals 3,450 watts.


Why 30 to 40 volts of DC Is dangerous to us?

Volts alone is not dangerous, but volts does causes amps. Amps can be dangerous to you if it flows through your body. That's because your brain, your nerves, and your muscles ... including your heart ... all operate on tiny natural volts and amps. They can all go haywire when big ones get in from outside your body.
