The recommended wire size for a circuit carrying 80 amps of current is typically 4 AWG (American Wire Gauge).
The recommended wire size for a circuit carrying 35 amps of current is typically 8 AWG (American Wire Gauge).
The recommended wire gauge for carrying 80 amps of current is typically 6 AWG (American Wire Gauge).
The electrical current in a circuit is measured in amps.
The maximum current rating for the circuit breaker is 150 amps.
In a series circuit, the current (amps) is constant throughout the circuit. This means that the same amount of current flows through each component connected in series. The current is not divided or reduced as it travels through the circuit.
The maximum current rating for the circuit breaker that can handle a load of 40 amps is 40 amps.
When you increase the resistance in a circuit, the current (amps) in the circuit will decrease. This is because Ohm's Law states that current is inversely proportional to resistance, so as resistance increases, current decreases.
The maximum current rating for the circuit breaker should be at least 30 amps to accommodate the continuous current of 25 amps required by the load.
The maximum current rating for the circuit breaker needed for a device that operates at 20 amps is 25 amps.
The maximum current capacity of a circuit breaker rated at 150 amps is 150 amps.
An Ammeter. It measures the current (or Amps).
A breaker or fuse in an electric panel is protecting the wire, outlets and switches that are part of the installed circuit. You could plug in an appliance that draws 6 amps and have a 15 A breaker protecting the circuit. The idea for protecting a specific device is to put in a fuse that blows before the current destroys the device. If your 6 Amp device would be destroyed by 6.1 amps then you want a 6 amp fuse. However, fuses aren't that precise so this would be hard to do. A rule of thumb is that the steady state current in a circuit is 80% of the over-current protection. In your case this would be 7.5 amps.
