Can you wire 10 Gauge and 12 Gauge in the same circuit?
Yes but there are two stipulations, one that the join or splice must be made in a junction box that is accessible and has a removable cover and the second stipulation is that the breaker that is supplying the power can not be larger that the smallest conductor. In this case no breaker larger that a 20 amp breaker as #12 wire is only rated at 20 amps..
What gauge wire to use for dishwasher?
A domestic D/W uses 14 gauge wire.
Can you use 14-3 wire on a 20amp breaker?
No. A 20 amp breaker needs 12 gauge wire.
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.
