What else can I help you with?
Can you have an 18 amp appliance on a 20 amp circuit?
Yes, you can have an 18 amp appliance on a 20 amp circuit. It is important to leave some room for safety margin, and a 20 amp circuit should be able to handle the 18 amp load without any issues. Make sure the wiring and circuit breaker are correctly rated for the load.
What is a 15 amp hookup?
A 15 amp hookup refers to an electrical connection that can handle up to 15 amperes of current. This type of hookup is commonly used for household appliances and devices that require a lower power output. It is important to not overload a 15 amp circuit to prevent electrical hazards.
What is the capacity in amperes 20 amp circuit breaker supplying a continuous load?
For a continuous load the circuit breaker is set 25% higher than the load current. So a 20-amp breaker is used with a continuous 16-amp load.
Can you have a resistive load of 12.5 amp on a 15 amp breaker?
It is not recommended to have a resistive load of 12.5 amp on a 15 amp breaker. The general rule is to not load a circuit to more than 80% of its capacity, which in this case would be 12 amps for a 15 amp circuit. Overloading a circuit can lead to overheating and potentially cause a fire hazard.
Do you need a special plug for a 120 volt 20 amp circuit?
Yes, you will need a special plug for a 120 volt 20 amp circuit. The plug should match the configuration of the receptacle to ensure proper connection and safety. Consider consulting with an electrician to determine the appropriate plug for your specific circuit requirements.
What is the recommended amperage for a circuit breaker to safely handle a 50 amp load?
The recommended amperage for a circuit breaker to safely handle a 50 amp load is 60 amps.
Can you plug a 2400 watt in a 15 amps?
No. A 120 volt 15 amp service will handle a maximum of 1,800 watts. Even a 20 amp service will only handle 2400 watts and that is at max load which you should never load on a 20 amp circuit. You will need a 30 amp 120 volt or 240 volt service for 2400 watts.
Can you have an 18 amp appliance on a 20 amp circuit?
Yes, you can have an 18 amp appliance on a 20 amp circuit. It is important to leave some room for safety margin, and a 20 amp circuit should be able to handle the 18 amp load without any issues. Make sure the wiring and circuit breaker are correctly rated for the load.
What would drop the amps on 220 plug?
The amperage on a circuit is governed by the connected load. If a load changes its current draw it can be detected by an amp meter connected to the circuit.
What size wire should be used for a 30 amp circuit?
For a 30 amp circuit, a wire size of at least 10 gauge should be used to safely handle the electrical load.
Can I safely use a 15 amp plug on a 20 amp circuit?
No, it is not safe to use a 15 amp plug on a 20 amp circuit as it can overload the circuit and potentially cause a fire hazard.
What is the maximum load capacity for a 20 amp outlet on a 20 amp circuit?
The maximum load capacity for a 20 amp outlet on a 20 amp circuit is 20 amps.
What is the maximum electrical load that a 110 amp breaker can handle?
A 110 amp breaker can handle a maximum electrical load of 110 amps.
What amp plug does the average router have?
15 amp outlet on a 20 amp circuit.
How many 5 amp TVs can be plugged into a open circuit?
You can plug in as many as you want but none of them will work. An "open" circuit is an electrical circuit which is not a complete circuit and therefore electricity will not flow through it. If you mean an unused circuit,which has no load on it, then the answer is 2 ea. 5 amp devices on a 15 amp circuit and 3 ea. 5 amp devices on a 20 amp circuit. The reason for this is that any circuit is not to be "loaded" more than 80% of the OCPD (circuit breaker amperage rating.
