The appropriate fuse for an AWG (American Wire Gauge) size depends on the wire's current-carrying capacity, which varies based on the wire's gauge, insulation type, and installation conditions. For example, a 14 AWG wire typically has a maximum safe current rating of about 15 amps, so a 15-amp fuse would be suitable. It's essential to consult the National Electrical Code (NEC) or manufacturer's guidelines for specific applications to ensure safety and compliance. Always prioritize using a fuse that matches the wire's capacity to prevent overheating and potential fire hazards.
Use a 20 amp fuse or breaker.
What size is the wire? AWG 10, 600V is rated for 30 amps. Any AWG less than 6 would also be ok for a 30 amp circuit....
Any wire size larger that a # 18 AWG can be fused at 2 amps.

what size wire would be required for an ak012 with a power supply of 208/240-3-60 hz
I think he is asking what the lettering has to do with the label on a fuse. sfe, awg acg, aug,etc. Can they be used interchangeability.
The correct size fuse needed is based on the size wire used in the circuit. The size wire needed is based on the load that will be applied to the circuit. 1. AWG 14/2 wire = 15 amp fuse 2. AWG 12/2 wire = 20 amp fuse 3. AWG 10/2 wire = 30 amp fuse 4. AWG 8/2 wire = 40 amp fuse
Use a 20 amp fuse or breaker.
AWG 16
The equivalent mm2 cross-sectional area of a 5.26 mm2 conductor is a # 10 AWG conductor. A # 10 AWG conductor size is protected by a 30 amp fuse.
No, you would need at least 20 amps. But the fuse must match the wiring. A 20 amp fuse will require the use of AWG # 12 wire.

The protective device should be rated not more than 10 Amperes and be able to withstand a 1000Ampere short circuit.

AWG plc was created in 1973.
The larger the AWG number the smaller the wire. 10 AWG wire can carry more current than 12 AWG wire.The wire sizes of 24 and 26 are the smallest that are used in the electrical.See related links below
