14 gauge will handle it with a 15 amp breaker. If you use 12 gauge use a 20 amp breaker.
The smallest size breaker is a 15 amp and with a #14 wire which has a capacity for 15 amps and a 120 volt source, this combination will give you the capacity up to 1800 watts. W = A x V, 120 x 15 = 1800.
250 watts, is the maximum, according to the info you gave me.
Yes a ballast uses amperage. That is the number beside the letter A on the ballasts nameplate. Depending on the size of the lamp or lamps will govern the size of the amperage that the ballast will draw.
Wire size is based on the amperage the device draws. The wattage of the unit has to be included in the equation. Amps = Watts/Volts. Most homes in North America today are roughed in with a two conductor #10 cable. This size wire will allow a 30 amps. The electrical code allows this conductor to be only loaded up to 80% capacity so useful amperage is 30 x 80% = 24 amps. Watts = Amps x volts = 24 x 240 = 5760 watts. If your dryer's wattage is no larger that this a #10 conductor will be fine. If it is higher go to the next size wire which is a #8 rated at 40 amps. Same de rate has to be applied.
To answer this question a voltage needs to be stated. The formula needed to find the amperage is I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Voltage. Once the amperage is found, the proper size conductor to handle that current can be established. Without knowing the amperage on 400 watts a good guess would be a #14 wire. This wire size is good up to 1440 watts at 120 volts.
At 120 volts a 15 amp breaker can be loaded to 1800 watts before it will trip. If it is a continuous load then the electrical code states that it is only allowed to be loaded to 80%. This will be 1800 x .8 = 1440 watts. If the voltage is not 120 volts use the following equation Watts = Amps x Volts. Amps being the breaker size that is to be used.
It depends on the model, if the hair dryer is a 1500 watt hair dryer, then it uses 1500 watts on high heat. If the hair dryer is a 2000 watt hair dryer, then it uses 2000 watts on high heat. Hair dryers come in all different size wattage, so it depends on the size wattage of the dryer. Most hair dryers are 1500 watts.
Depending on size of Fridge. But AVERAGE is 12 volts for fridge, circuit necessity 15 amps 15 amps X 120 Volts=1800 watts minimum...I'm LEARNING myself
A typical blow dryer requires around 1500-1800 watts to operate effectively. Therefore, a generator with a capacity of at least 2000 watts would be suitable to run a blow dryer.
The wattage required for soldering SMD devices typically ranges from 15-60 watts, depending on the size of the components and the type of work being done. It's best to use a soldering iron with adjustable temperature settings to ensure precision and avoid damaging the components.
The smallest size breaker is a 15 amp and with a #14 wire which has a capacity for 15 amps and a 120 volt source, this combination will give you the capacity up to 1800 watts. W = A x V, 120 x 15 = 1800.
The wattage needed to run an oil heater can vary depending on the size and model of the heater. In general, oil heaters typically range from 600 watts to 1500 watts. It's important to check the manufacturer's recommendations for the specific oil heater being used to determine the exact wattage required.
audionic mini size laptop speakers ( USB based) 300 watts best output result. no external power required.
The wattage required to run a geothermal furnace can vary depending on its size and efficiency. On average, a geothermal furnace typically consumes around 500-1500 watts when running. It's best to check the manufacturer's specifications for the specific model you have.
The total load applied to an extension cord is governed by the wire size of the cord. As the extension cord is usually plugged into a wall receptacle. The breaker protecting the receptacle is rated at 15 amps. The total wattage is limited to 15 x 120 volts = 1800 watts. Check the nameplate on the appliances to see what the wattage draw totals. This will give you the answer, any amount that adds up to the total of 1800 watts.
size depends on the watts..-Shocker
