Can an electric range be powered from the same circuit as an electric dyer?
No. The two appliances usually have dedicated circuits. The range will have a two pole 40 amp breaker and be fed with a 3-C #8 copper cable. The dryer will have a 30 amp two pole breaker and be fed with a 3-C # 10 copper cable. As you can see by powering a 40 amp device from a 30 amp breaker, full operation of the range will trip the 30 amp breaker.
Can a 40 amp breaker not a 4 amp breaker be used to replace a 35 amp breaker for ac unit?
No, it is not recommended to replace a 35 amp breaker with a 40 amp breaker for an AC unit. Breakers are designed to protect the circuit and the equipment, so using a higher rated breaker can lead to overheating and potential damage. It is best to use the correct amperage rated breaker for the equipment.
Is it ok to exchange a 20 amp breaker with a 40 amp breaker?
No. The 20 amp breaker is probably protecting a #12 wire. Connecting a 40 amp breaker to the 20 amp #12 wire would seriously overload the #12 wire. This means that if the load increased to a full 40 amps the insulation on the smaller size wire would most likely melt off and the wire could short out.
What is breaker size for 240 volt 9 KW?
The formula you are looking for is I = W/E.
Will your spa work with a 40 amp breaker even if it says 50 amp on the plate?
No, because if you switch a 50-amp load on, it will blow a 40-amp circuit breaker if the load exceeds 40 amps, which is likely.
What is the appropriate wire size for a 40 amp breaker?
The appropriate wire size for a 40 amp breaker is typically 8 AWG (American Wire Gauge).
What is the recommended wire size for a 40 amp breaker?
The recommended wire size for a 40 amp breaker is typically 8 AWG (American Wire Gauge).

What are the standard size circuit breaker amperages?
In North America the standard sizes for breakers are 15, 20, 30, and 40 amps. The 15 amp size breaker is used in general circuit wiring. The 20 amp size breaker is used for dedicated appliance receptacles, hot water tank and baseboard heating. The 30 amp size breaker is used for a clothes dryer. The 40 amp size breaker is used for the electric range.

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 breaker do you need for a 40 gallon electric water heater?
Usually 30 amp

What size breaker should be used for an electric range?
A 40-50 amp breaker is typically used for an electric range.
What is breaker size for 240 volt 9 KW?
The formula you are looking for is I = W/E.
Can you use 40 amp breaker for your lights and plug ins?
If you are referring to house wiring then the answer is no. A breaker protects the wire size that is connected to the breaker. In home wiring most homes are wired with a #14 wire which is rated at 15 amps. That is why the wire is protected by a 15 amp breaker. The correct wire size to connect to a 40 amp breaker is a #8. This size wire is too large to connect to receptacles an light fixture terminals.
