3 AWG in copper and 2 AWG in Aluminum.
No, it is not safe to use 10 gauge wire with a 30 amp breaker as the wire is not rated for that high of a current. It is important to use the correct wire gauge that matches the breaker amperage to prevent overheating and potential fire hazards. For a 30 amp breaker, you should use at least 10 gauge wire.
No, because NEC says that 12 AWG wire is the smallest wire that can safely handle 20 A. If you installed a smaller wire on a 20 A breaker you could possibly overheat the wire and cause it to fail, which can start a fire. It would not be to code. And the National Electrical code does not list a 13 gauge wire.
AWG # 14 copper.
For a stove, use a 8 or 6 gauge wire with a 40 to 50 amp breaker. For a dryer, use a 10 or 8 gauge wire with a 30 amp breaker. For a hot water heater, use a 10 or 8 gauge wire with a 30 or 40 amp breaker. Be sure to consult local electrical codes and guidelines for specific requirements.
It is not recommended to connect a 14 gauge wire to a 12 gauge wire on a 20 amp breaker, as this can create a safety hazard. It's important to match the wire gauge to the circuit breaker rating to prevent overheating and potential fire hazards. It would be best to run a continuous 12 gauge wire for this circuit.
14 gauge will handle it with a 15 amp breaker. If you use 12 gauge use a 20 amp breaker.
For a 30 amp breaker, a 10-gauge wire should be used.
For a 60 amp breaker, a 6-gauge wire should be used.
The recommended wire size for a 100 amp breaker is typically 2-gauge copper wire or 1/0-gauge aluminum wire.
The recommended wire size for a 20 amp breaker is typically 12-gauge wire.
The appropriate wire size for a 25 amp breaker is typically 10 gauge wire.
The appropriate wire size for a 30 amp breaker is typically 10 gauge wire.
The recommended wire size for a 25 amp breaker is typically 10 gauge wire.
The recommended wire size for a 30 amp breaker is typically 10 gauge wire.
The recommended wire size for a 50 amp breaker is typically 6-gauge wire.
The recommended wire size for a 60 amp breaker is typically 6-gauge wire.
