Size fuse for 12 AWG wire?
Use a 20 amp fuse or breaker.
Can 600v wire works 30 amp fuse?
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....
What gauge wire for a 2 amp in-line fuse?
Any wire size larger that a # 18 AWG can be fused at 2 amps.
What do the letters AWG means?

What size wire for a 45 AMP fuse?
what size wire would be required for an ak012 with a power supply of 208/240-3-60 hz
What is the difference between a SFE fuse and a AWG?
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.
How do you choose the right fuse for the job?
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
Size fuse for 12 AWG wire?
Use a 20 amp fuse or breaker.
What size wire needed for 6amps fuse?
AWG 16
What is ampere rating of a fuse used to protect a 5.5 mm squared conductor?
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.
Can a 15 amp fuse handle a 115volt welder?
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.

How does circuit breaker or fuse protect the house from fire?
The fuse is matched to the size wire in the circuit the breaker/fuse it is protecting. For instance, a 20 amp breaker/fuse is used in combination with AWG 12/2 wire. A 15 amp breaker/fuse would be used with AWG 14/2 wire. If there is too much current flow in the circuit caused by either overloading the circuit or by a short in the wires the wiring would overheat and catch fire if not for the breaker/fuse. The breaker/fuse is designed to detect this and to trip or blow and shut off all power flowing to that circuit and prevent a fire. This is why you should never install the wrong size fuse. Put a 20 amp fuse on a 15 amp circuit and it would not protect the circuit as it should.

When was AWG plc created?
AWG plc was created in 1973.
Can you use a 20 amp circuit breaker for an electric dryer?
If you are referring to a cloths dryer, the answer depends on the requirements of the dryer. Most dryers require AWG#10 wire with a 30 amp fuse. If the wiring is AWG#12 then use a 20 amp breaker but never use it on AWG#10 which requires a 30 amp breaker. If you are referring to a hair dryer then yes a 20 amp breaker is fine.
