Can you put 20amp breaker on 10-2 wire?
No, you should match the breaker size to the wire gauge. A 10-2 wire is typically rated for a 30 amp breaker. Using a 20 amp breaker on 10-2 wire could result in overheating and a potential fire hazard.
Can you run 8 gauge wire on a 50 amp breaker?
No, you should not run 8 gauge wire on a 50 amp breaker. The wire size should be compatible with the amperage rating of the breaker to ensure safety and prevent overheating. For a 50 amp breaker, you should use a minimum of 6 gauge wire.
How big of breaker do you use for 115 volt?
Depends on the wire size used in the circuit. If you use AWG # 14 wire you must use a 15 amp breaker. If it is wired with AWG # 12 wire then you use a 20 amp breaker. If a AWG # 10 wire is used then a 30 amp breaker is required. The breaker protects the wiring from overheating so you must use the proper size breaker for the wire used.
Can a circuit breaker be tripped by using 20 amp sockets instead of 15 amp sockets?
A circuit breaker protects the wires that the devices are connected to. If the devices that are connected to the circuit are 20 amps the wire size should be #12 wire fed from a 20 amp breaker. This breaker should not trip unless the circuit is overloaded or a fault occurs on the circuit. If the devices that are connected to the circuit are15 amps the wire size should be #14 wire fed from a15 amp breaker. This breaker should not trip unless the circuit is overloaded or a fault occurs on the circuit. Putting 20 amp sockets on this 15 amp circuit will work but the circuit is limited to the amount of load that can be plugged in. You will not get the full capacity of the 20 socket because the breaker will trip at 15 amps.
What is the wire size for a 35 amp breaker to a ac unit?
You will need to use #8 wire.
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?
For a 25 amp breaker, a wire size of at least 10 gauge should be used to safely handle the current.
What size breaker should you use for a tnia-10 wire?
25 amp breaker
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 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.
Can I replace a 15 amp breaker with a 20 amp breaker?
No, you should not replace a 15 amp breaker with a 20 amp breaker without consulting a licensed electrician. The breaker size should match the wire size to prevent overheating and potential fire hazards.
What size wire should be used for a 40 amp breaker?
For a 40 amp breaker, a wire size of at least 8 AWG (American Wire Gauge) should be used to ensure safe and proper electrical conductivity.
What size wire should be used for a 70 amp breaker?
For a 70 amp breaker, a wire size of at least 4 AWG (American Wire Gauge) should be used to ensure proper electrical safety and performance.
What size wire should be used for a 60 amp breaker?
For a 60 amp breaker, a wire size of at least 6 AWG (American Wire Gauge) should be used to ensure safe and efficient electrical conductivity.
What size breaker should be used on a 20 amp motor?
30 amp breaker with #10 gauge copper wire
