It is unusual to have multiple outlets on a 30 Amp service. If you do this you need outlets rated at 30 amps and 10 AWG wire.

For six outlets on a 30 amp breaker, you should use at least a 10-gauge wire to handle the load. This wire size is recommended to ensure proper flow of electricity without overheating. Always consult local electrical codes and regulations to ensure compliance with safety standards.

How big of breaker do you use for 115 volt?
Depends on the wire size used in the circuit. If you use AWG # 14 wire you must use a 15 amp breaker. If it is wired with AWG # 12 wire then you use a 20 amp breaker. If a AWG # 10 wire is used then a 30 amp breaker is required. The breaker protects the wiring from overheating so you must use the proper size breaker for the wire used.
How can you wire a normal 120V outlet out of a double pole circuit breaker?
You cannot wire a normal 120V outlet directly from a double pole circuit breaker as it is designed for higher voltage applications. You would need to install a single pole circuit breaker for a 120V outlet.
What is the wire size for a 35 amp breaker to a ac unit?
You will need to use #8 wire.
What size wire and breaker do you need for a 5000 watt garage heater?
Look on the heater and see what amps it is pulling. That will determine the wire size and breaker size. It must be on a dedicated circuit. 15 amps = AWG # 14 wire with 15 amp breaker 20 amps = AWG # 12 wire with 20 amp breaker 30 amps = AWG # 10 wire with 30 amp breaker 40 amps = AWG # 8 wire with 40 amp breaker
Can you have a 120v circuit on a 30 amp breaker?
No, electrical code typically requires that circuits be protected by a breaker that matches the wire size. A 30 amp breaker is typically used for circuits with larger wire sizes. For a 120V circuit, a 20 amp breaker is more suitable with appropriate wire size.
What size amp circuit breaker should be used for 110 outlet?
The size breaker you use is determined by the size wire used in the circuit. If you use AWG #12/2 wire then use a 20 amp breaker. If you use AWG # 14/2 then use a 15 amp breaker.
What size breaker can you use on a 7500watt generator?
Depends on the wire size you are using. If the generator breaker is a 30 amp then install a 30 amp breaker.
What gauge wire do you run between a 30 amp breaker and an outlet?
10 AWG.
Can 50 Amp breaker replace 45 Amp breaker?
Both a 45 amp and 50 amp breaker would require 6 AWG wire. So if you have 6 AWG wire and any devices like an outlet are rated at 50 amps or greater you are okay.
Can you use a 30 amp breaker for a refrigerator?
Not unless the wire going to the refrigerator outlet is AWG 10/2. If it is wired with 12/2 wire then you must use a 20 amp breaker. Using a 30 amp breaker is dangerous and a fire hazard.
What size breaker should you use for a tnia-10 wire?
25 amp breaker
How big of breaker do you use for 115 volt?
Depends on the wire size used in the circuit. If you use AWG # 14 wire you must use a 15 amp breaker. If it is wired with AWG # 12 wire then you use a 20 amp breaker. If a AWG # 10 wire is used then a 30 amp breaker is required. The breaker protects the wiring from overheating so you must use the proper size breaker for the wire used.
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.
What size breaker should be used on a 20 amp motor?
30 amp breaker with #10 gauge copper wire
How can you wire a normal 120V outlet out of a double pole circuit breaker?
You cannot wire a normal 120V outlet directly from a double pole circuit breaker as it is designed for higher voltage applications. You would need to install a single pole circuit breaker for a 120V outlet.
Should 25 amps breaker be replaced by 20 amps?
For typical residential house wiring 12 AWG wire is required for a 20 Amp breaker. If you change out the breaker for a 25 A breaker you would have to rewire the circuit with 10 AWG. In that case you could up the breaker to 30 Amps. All outlets and switches should be rated at the same voltage and current as the breaker.
How many 20amp outlets in commercial building per circuit?
All depends on how big your main breaker is and what size wire you are using,one 20 amp outlet needs #12 wire not more than 50feet away from main breaker
