What is the minnimum size equipment grounding conductor required by the NEC for a branch-circuit protected by a 50-ampere rated circuit breaker?
The minimum size equipment grounding conductor required by the NEC for a branch circuit protected by a 50-ampere rated circuit breaker is 10 AWG copper or 8 AWG aluminum.
Is 95 amps to much for a 100 amp breaker?
Yes, 95 amps is too much for a 100 amp breaker. Breakers are designed to protect the wiring in a circuit and should be sized to not exceed their amperage rating. In this case, you would need to upgrade to a higher amperage breaker.
Can a 13000 btu airconditioner run on 15 amp breaker?
A 13000 BTU air conditioner typically requires a minimum of 15 amps to run. It is recommended to have a dedicated circuit with a 15-20 amp breaker to avoid overloading the circuit. It's important to consult the air conditioner manual for specific electrical requirements.
Can a 4 ton central air conditioner run off a 30 amp breaker?
No, a 4 ton central air conditioner typically requires a minimum of a 40 amp breaker to operate safely and efficiently. Running it off a 30 amp breaker could cause the breaker to trip frequently due to overload.
What size ciruit breaker needed to run a 110v heater 500 watts?
That will draw about 9 amps at 120V. A 15 amp breaker if the circuit conductor is #14 or 20 amp breaker if the circuit conductor is #12. As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed. Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
How do you know if the AC breaker matches the AC unit starting demand load?
Read the literature for the ac condensing unit, or the tag on the outside of the unit. Minimum circuit ampacity= minimum breaker, wire and fuse size. Maximum circuit ampacity= the maximum size. Your circuit breaker, wire size and disconnect fuses should all be at or between those 2 numbers.
When a parallel LC circuit is tuned to resonance will the current be at a maximum or a minimum?
Inside the circuit loop between the inductor and capacitor the current will be at maximum. Outside the circuit the current through the LC tank circuit will be at minimum. It depends on where you are measuring it.
When the circuit is said to be in resonance?
For a particular frequency if the current or the voltage of the circuit is Maximum or Minimum then that circuit is said to be in resonance .
What is the minimum value of current to trip the Earth leakage circuit breaker?
30 m amp
How do you calculate minimum clock period in a digital circuit?
If you have the Maximum clock frequency, then you can figure out the minimum clock period using this formula: 1/(minimum clock period) = (Maximum clock frequency).
What are the three main types of high voltage switching gear met with in industrial installations?
High voltage switch gear operates in the voltage range of 36 kV and above. Minimum oil circuit breaker, air blast circuit breaker and SF6 (Sulphur hexafluoride) circuit breaker are the three mostly used disconnects for high voltage switchgear.
How a circuit breaker increases safety?
A circuit breaker limits the amps that a circuit can carry. If the amperage draw on a circuit exceeds that limit, the circuit breaker turns off the circuit. If the current through a wire exceeds the rated amperage, the wire will overheat and eventually cause a fire, or at a minimum, destroy the wire behind inside the wall. Obviously, people don't want a house fire caused by an electrical overload, so circuit breakers are used to prevent damage and potential loss of life.
Are circuit breaker panels chosen by total amperage of all circuit breakers in the panel?
Most often if you add up all the breaker values in a panel they will exceed the rating of the panel. The theory is that you never operate each breaker to its full capacity. The panels are sized to the maximum current that is capable of being supplied by the electric company equipment servicing your house. Correction: Panels are sized according to the outcome of a complicated process of estimating the maximum number of amps that are likely to be used at any one time. This gives you a minimum size and you install AT A MINIMUM the next larger size panel. I don't know of a maximum size by code but there are limits to what can be practically used. In the absence of this complicated process, there are some rules of thumb that are substituted on houses. These range from 100 amps to 200 amps.
Is 95 amps to much for a 100 amp breaker?
Yes, 95 amps is too much for a 100 amp breaker. Breakers are designed to protect the wiring in a circuit and should be sized to not exceed their amperage rating. In this case, you would need to upgrade to a higher amperage breaker.
What minimum number of 150 W light bulbs must be connected in parallel to a single 240 V household circuit to trip a 20.0 A circuit breaker?
150W = 240 volts * .625Amps. Assuming the 20A breaker trips at exactly 20A, 20/.625 = 32 lights.
What are extremes in math terms?
The extrema are the maximum and minimum values.The extrema are the maximum and minimum values.The extrema are the maximum and minimum values.The extrema are the maximum and minimum values.
What is the opposite of minimum?
The opposite of minimum is maximum.
