In the United States, there isn't a hard limit on how many 20 amp circuits that can be run on a 50 amp supply. This is because in most cases, especially in homes, we don't load most circuits with more than an amp or 2, even when they are protected by a 20 amp breaker. From a practical perspective you probably have a limited number of slots for breakers in your service or supply panel.

How much to run 30 amp service?
The cost to run a 30-amp service will vary by location and complexity of the installation. On average, you can expect to pay between $1,500 to $3,000 for a licensed electrician to install a 30-amp service. Additional costs may apply for permits, materials, and labor.
Can you tap off of a 200 amp service for 2 100 amp panels?
Yes, but at every reduction in wire size there has to be a breaker sized to the smaller wire size. The wire size for 100 amp panels is recommended at #3 copper conductor. From the 200 amp feeder panel you will require a 100 amp two pole breaker for each of the two 100 amp services. Keep in mind that if you run the 100 amp services close to maximum this will take away the capacity of the 200 amp service for other branch circuits coming off of it. Also keep in mind that if the panels are located, not in the same building as the 200 amp service that the 100 amp panels will be treated as separate services and will have to be constructed like a 100 amp service. This includes ground rods. Also the bonding screw will have to be removed that connects the neutral buss to the panel enclosure.
How many watt generator to run a 150 amp service?
You will need a 50 kW generator for a single phase 120/240 volt service.
What is the wire size needed to feed a 400 amp service with parallel copper?
It depends on the length of the run
What size wire for 200 amp service with a 60 foot run?
For a 200 amp service with a 60 foot run, it is recommended to use 3/0 AWG copper wire or 250 kcmil aluminum wire to ensure proper voltage drop and capacity for the load. Be sure to consult with local codes and a licensed electrician for specific requirements and installation guidance.
What can a 15 amp circuit be used for?
The majority of the circuits in your home are run on 15 amp circuits.
Is it ok to run three 240 on one 50 amp breaker?
If you are asking, can three separate 240 volt circuits be run off of one 50 amp breaker then the answer is no. Not without knowing what the loading of the three circuits are and whether all three circuits could be on at the same time.
What size wire for 80 amp breaker with a hundred foot run?
For an 80 amp breaker with a one hundred foot run, you would typically need to use 4 AWG copper wire to minimize voltage drop and ensure safe operation of the circuit. It is important to consult with a qualified electrician to determine the specific requirements for your installation based on local codes and conditions.

Can you run 2 electric ranges and 2 microwaves with a 100 amp service?
Yes you can.
What size wire for 25 amp service with a 200 foot run?
10 guage
Will a 30 amp run an air conditioner and a microwave at the same time?
It depends on the specific power requirements of the air conditioner and microwave. Typically, a 30 amp circuit can handle both as long as they are not high-powered appliances. It's always best to consult with an electrician to ensure your circuit can safely handle both appliances simultaneously.
How many amps are needed to efficiently run a home?
Almost any average size home today will requre a 200 amp service panel.
What size wire for 10 amp service with 1100 foot run?
AWG 12 will suffice.
How many single phase can you run on a 100amp 3 phase?
You can divide a three phase service into (3) single phase circuits providing you have a 4th neutral wire.
