Beau14 guage wire should not be connected to a breaker larger than 15 amps.
There is no difference in the trip rating between a breaker and a fuse. (I put breaker because most people who do not know electrical systems call breakers fuses. Fuses screwed into the panel are a very old circuit protection system and not used anymore.)
A #12 copper conductor with an insulation of 90 degrees C is rated at 20 amps. As to what size fuse, for normal installations a 20 amp breaker or fuse will be used. For motor installations the fusing will be higher to allow the inrush of the motor's amperage to not blow the protection.

What size of copper wire can carry 30 amps?
Couple of things wrong here. 30 isn't a wire size. If you mean a wire that can carry 30 amps that would be # 10. Now it depends on how many # 10 wires you want to put into a conduit that governs the size of the conduit.
What is AWG in cable?
American Wire Gauge. Measure the thickness of the cable.
What are some commercial uses for 9 solid copper wire?
Beats me, the National Electrical Code does not list a #9 awg wire.
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.
What is the maximum current carrying capacity of 35 sq mm copper wire?
The nearest AWG wire size to 50 sq. mm is 1/0. A 1/0 aluminium conductor with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 180 and 205 amps respectively.
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
What size wire for 40a breaker?
AWG # 8 copper
What size wire for 40 amp?
AWG # 8 copper.
What is the minimum wire size for a 30Amp breaker?
The minimum wire size for a 30Amp breaker is typically 10 AWG for copper wire and 8 AWG for aluminum wire, according to the National Electrical Code (NEC). This wire size is necessary to safely carry the amount of current without overheating.
What size wire for electric cook top?
AWG # 6 copper or AWG # 4 aluminum
What size wire needed for 6amps fuse?
AWG 16
What is the recommended wire size for a 100A service?
The recommended wire size for a 100A service is typically 2 AWG copper or 1/0 AWG aluminum.
What is the required wire size for 100?
A 100 amp service requires that you use AWG 4 copper wire or AWG 2 aluminum wire.
What size wire for 70 amp circuit?
AWG #4 copper.
Size fuse for 12 AWG wire?
Use a 20 amp fuse or breaker.
What is the recommended wire size for an 80 amp breaker?
The recommended wire size for an 80 amp breaker is typically 4 AWG (American Wire Gauge) for copper wire and 2 AWG for aluminum wire.
What is the recommended wire size for a 70 amp breaker?
The recommended wire size for a 70 amp breaker is typically 4 AWG (American Wire Gauge) for copper wire and 2 AWG for aluminum wire.
