You can use up to a 30 amp fuse or breaker with 10 Ga wire.
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.
American Wire Gauge. Measure the thickness of the cable.
Beats me, the National Electrical Code does not list a #9 awg wire.
For a 15 HP, 480-volt three-phase motor, you typically need to use 10 AWG copper wire or 8 AWG aluminum wire for short distances, based on the National Electrical Code (NEC) guidelines. However, if the distance from the power source to the motor is long (over 100 feet), you may need to use a larger gauge wire to account for voltage drop, potentially 8 AWG copper or 6 AWG aluminum. Always consult local codes and a qualified electrician for specific applications.
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.
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
AWG # 8 copper.
AWG # 8 copper
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.
AWG # 6 copper or AWG # 4 aluminum
AWG 16
The recommended wire size for a 100A service is typically 2 AWG copper or 1/0 AWG aluminum.
A 100 amp service requires that you use AWG 4 copper wire or AWG 2 aluminum wire.
AWG #4 copper.
Use a 20 amp fuse or 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.
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.
