The right wire gauge for ordinary household depends on a few factors. It differs depending on the load the wire must carry.
<<>>
In North America the code book only recognizes #14 AWG wire and larger for home wiring installations.
The wire size is directly related to the amperage of the load. For heavier load appliances a larger gauge wire must be used to carry the additional current. Common lighting and plug circuits use #14 wire. To find out appliance currents in your house , use this formula. Amps = Watts divided by the Voltage that the appliance is using. #14 wire 15 amps, #12 wire 20 amps, #10 wire 30 amps, #8 wire 40 amps. All of these wire sizes are used for distribution in residential housing.

What happens if tungstun is used in domestic wiring?
Tungsten is not typically used in domestic wiring due to its limited conductivity. It is commonly used as the filament in incandescent light bulbs, but not for conducting electricity in wiring applications. Copper or aluminum are more commonly used for their superior conductivity in domestic wiring.
Which wires do you use for wiring a trailer on a 2000 Nissan Frontier?
For wiring a trailer on a 2000 Nissan Frontier, you will typically need to connect the ground wire (white), left turn signal and brake light (yellow), right turn signal and brake light (green), and the tail lights (brown).

Will 26 gauge wire work for a rabbit snare?

What is the difference between ordinary glass and quartz glass?
Quartz glass is made from pure silicon dioxide and has a higher melting point, better transparency, and superior thermal and chemical resistance compared to ordinary glass. This makes quartz glass more suitable for high-temperature and high-pressure applications where regular glass might deform or break down.
How do you Troubleshoot a 63 Corvette Fuel Gauge Problem?
Looking from the rear of the gauge apply +12v to right terminal and ground to left terminal. If functional the gauge will go to full. Reverse wires and the gauge should go to the left below empty. If it does these two things the gauge is working and the problem is wiring or sending unit. Randy Nix
Can new wiring effect my car relays?
Improperly wired circuits can. If the wiring was done right, the relays would continue to function as normal. If you use too small a gauge of wire, the relays will continue to function... it's the wire itself which will overheat.

If the gas gauge is stuck in one spot on a 1997 Ford Escort how do you access it to try and fix it?
check the fuse, it should be linked to other devices in the vehicle if you've noticed other components (radio, interior lights, etc.) not working. if the gauge is pegged in the super high or low position and the fuse is good, pull apart dash and check voltage reading at gauge wiring (you need voltage values from ford to determine if the gauge is out or if it is indeed telling you the right reading). If the gauge wiring checks out, the sender unit on your fuel pump went out and it is integral with the fuel pump itself. Ala, time to replace the fuel pump. Good luck.
