How many amps will a 2 0 wire carry?
If you mean 2/0 copper wire it is rated 175 amps. # 2 wire is 115 amps. If you are referring to 2.0 metric it is rated 15 amps.
What size breaker for 12 gauge aluminum wire?
A #12 aluminium conductor with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 15 amp. Therefore the largest size breaker to protect that wire will be a breaker rated at 15 amps.
How do you figure wire size for a 3kW 380 volt?
You would need to know how FAR the load is from the service point. Then use an online calculator or the voltage-drop formula to determine the minimum diameter of the conductors necessary to provide 95 percent of the supply voltage to the device at the other end. <<>> If distance is not a factor, the wire size is determined by the amperage the wire has to carry. Using the formula I = W/E, Amps = Watts/Volts = 3000/380 = 7.98 amps. A #14 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 15 amps. This size wire has nearly double the capacity that you need.
How many watts can 16 gauge stranded wire carry?
To answer this question a voltage and amperage must be stated. W = Amps x Volts.
What size wire to pull 6 amps 70 feet?
NEC 310.16 conductor ampacities NEC 240.4(D) For residential installations the smallest wire to be used is 14 AWG (15 amps rating) and for commercial installations the smallest wire to be used is 12 AWG (20 amp rating)
What is amp size for 14 wire?
15 amps.
What size of wire for 10000 watts?
Cable sizing is based on load amperage. The formula you need to use is Amps = Watts/Volts. Amps = 1000/220 = 4.55 amps. A #14 copper wire with a insulation factor of 60, 75 and 90 degrees C is rated at 15, 15 and 15 amps respectively.
What is the Minimum branch circuit wire size in a dwelling?
The minimum size home wiring is #14 AWG, the rating for that size wire is 15 amps.
What size wire and breaker do you need for a 5000 watt garage heater?
Look on the heater and see what amps it is pulling. That will determine the wire size and breaker size. It must be on a dedicated circuit. 15 amps = AWG # 14 wire with 15 amp breaker 20 amps = AWG # 12 wire with 20 amp breaker 30 amps = AWG # 10 wire with 30 amp breaker 40 amps = AWG # 8 wire with 40 amp breaker
What is the minimum branch-circuit wire size installed in a dwelling?
The minimum size home wiring is #14 AWG, the rating for that size wire is 15 amps.
What size wire to carry 8 amps at 120 volts?
A # 14 copper conductor will be fine to carry 8 amps at 120 volts. This size conductor is rated at 15 amps.
What size wire for 110vV 4A?
A #14 copper wire with an insulation rating of 90 degrees C is rated at 15 amps.
What is the differnet between 15 amp and 20 amp?
5. You are probably asking about wire size. 15 amps is typically 14 AWG and 20 amps is 12 AWG.
Can you hook a 15 amp and 20 amp breaker to a breaker box using 20 amp wire?
No, you should use wire that matches the lowest amp rating of the breakers connected to it. In this case, you should use 15 amp wire since one of the breakers is a 15 amp breaker. Matching the wire gauge to the lowest amp rating ensures the wire is protected from overheating in case of a short circuit.
What wire size do you use for a 760 watt amp?
Wire is sized by the amperage applied to the wire. To answer this question a voltage needs to be stated. I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts. A #14 copper conductor is rated at 15 amps.
14 gauge wire can be on what size circuit breaker?
A 14 gauge wire is typically used on a 15 amp circuit breaker. It is not recommended to use a larger circuit breaker with a smaller wire size as this can create a fire hazard.
How many amps for 14 wire how many amps for 12 wire?
A 14-gauge wire can typically carry up to 15 amps of current, while a 12-gauge wire can handle up to 20 amps. It's important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines and electrical codes when determining the maximum current for a specific wire size.
