LRA is 134 AMPS. what size breaker should be used?
LRA (locked rotor amps) is not used to calculate the breaker size. Breaker's are used to protect the size of the conductor that is connected to it. Motor calculations are based on the motor's FLA (full load amps).Conductor size is 125% of the motor's FLA.Breaker size is 250% of the motor's FLA.This is the only occasion when the breaker is sized larger that the conductors maximum amperage rating. This is due to the motor drawing up to 300 to 600% of its FLA when starting.If you state the motor's wattage, voltage or amperage this calculation can be calculated here.
What size wire should be used with a 60 amp breaker?
A 6-gauge wire should be used with a 60 amp breaker.
What size wire should be used for a 25 amp breaker?

What size wire should be used for a 30 amp breaker?
For a 30 amp breaker, a wire size of at least 10 gauge should be used to ensure safe and proper electrical connections.
What size amp circuit breaker should be used for a air compressor?
The size of the amp circuit breaker needed for an air compressor depends on the motor's wattage and starting current. As a general guideline, a 20-amp circuit breaker is commonly used for smaller air compressors, but it's best to consult the compressor's manual or an electrician to determine the correct size for your specific model.
What size breaker should be used for a double oven?
50 amp breaker wired with AWG # 6 wire.
What size wire should be used for a 100 amp breaker?
For a 100 amp breaker, a wire size of 2 AWG (American Wire Gauge) should be used to ensure proper electrical safety and performance.
What size of wire should be used for a 50 amp breaker?
For a 50 amp breaker, a wire size of at least 6 AWG (American Wire Gauge) should be used to safely handle the electrical load.
What size wire should be used for a 50 amp breaker?
For a 50 amp breaker, a wire size of at least 6 AWG (American Wire Gauge) should be used to safely handle the electrical load.
What size amp circuit breaker should be used for 110 outlet?
The size breaker you use is determined by the size wire used in the circuit. If you use AWG #12/2 wire then use a 20 amp breaker. If you use AWG # 14/2 then use a 15 amp breaker.
What size breaker should be used for a fridge?
For a standard refrigerator, a 15-20 amp circuit breaker is typically recommended.
