What size circuit breaker for GFCI circuit in a normal size bath?
Normally it is a 20 amp using AWG 12/2 gauge wire. But it really depends on what size wire is on that circuit. If it is white AWG 14 gauge then use a 15 amp breaker. If it is yellow AWG 12 gauge then use a 20 amp breaker.
What is the maximum breaker size for these gauges wire?
You listed no gauge wire. This is the required breakers.14 gauge - 15 amp12 gauge - 20 amp10 gauge - 30 amp8 gauge - 40 amp
What size Aluminum wire is used for ground in breaker box?
For a 100 Amp breaker panel it would be 2 AWG. For 150 Amps it would require 2/0 (2 ought) aluminum wire.
What is the wire size required for 1800 watts for lamps?
14 gauge will handle it with a 15 amp breaker. If you use 12 gauge use a 20 amp breaker.
What size breaker would e needed for 10.8 amps?
In standard construction this would require a 15 amp breaker and 14 gauge copper wire.
